Learn More About Gender Conference 2026
It is undeniable that significant progress has been made in the past few decades on the issue of gender equality. However, there is still a long journey ahead. The progress has been uneven around the world, faced numerous challenges, took a step back on a number of occasions, uncovered new questions, and revealed just how embedded, at times, the problem of inequality is in the fabric of society.
That’s why those working in the field of gender equality must add the 4th World Conference on Gender Equality to their calendars. This academic Gender Equality Conference will bring together leading researchers, scholars, and scientists in the field, as well as members of non-profit and government organizations. They will examine some of the most pressing challenges in the field both from a micro and macro perspectives. You will learn why innovative methodologies proved successful on regional or national levels yet failed to achieve the same results on a global scale. You will get a chance to engage in meaningful debates and discussions with people from all around the world, understanding old topics from new perspectives, sharing your own experiences, and helping move the conversation on gender equality forward.
We invite you to join as a delegate or submit your paper to present it as a speaker. See you in Rotterdam!
We are extremely pleased to welcome you to GECONF, one of the largest conference.

Discover Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a city where the future meets the water — bold, open, and always evolving. As the second-largest city in the Netherlands, Rotterdam surprises visitors with its unconventional beauty. Instead of cobblestone streets and centuries-old facades, you’ll find bold architecture, wide boulevards, and innovative public spaces. From the sleek curves of the Erasmus Bridge to the colorful Markthal, every corner tells a story of resilience and reinvention. The city’s port, one of the busiest in the world, symbolizes Rotterdam’s international outlook and deep connection to the sea.
But Rotterdam is more than just buildings and business — it’s a place full of soul. Its neighborhoods pulse with creativity, offering everything from underground art galleries and pop-up restaurants to lively street festivals. You can spend the day biking along peaceful canals, discovering hidden gardens, or enjoying the energy of a rooftop bar as the sun sets over the skyline. In Rotterdam, you don’t just visit — you feel part of a city that’s always in motion, always surprising, and always welcoming.
City Tour
We would also like to offer the participants a one-day city tour free of charge. Great chance for participants to mingle around as well as appreciate the largest and wonderful city of Copenhagen with its famous buildings, architecture and rich culture.
