“Fostering Knowledge Sharing and Innovation Competitiveness for Production Enabled Development”
The International Multidisciplinary Conference (IMDC) brings together researchers, practitioners, and innovators from across fields to share findings, challenge assumptions, and build new collaborations. Over three days in Lusaka, delegates will move between keynote sessions, paper presentations, and workshops spanning the sciences, humanities, technology, and public policy.
Hosted at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre, IMDC 2026 continues a tradition of convening scholars from across Africa and beyond. Whether you're submitting an abstract, reviewing papers, or attending as a delegate, the conference is built around one goal: connecting ideas that don't usually share a room.
