About the Forum

The BRICS Academic Forum brings together scholars, researchers, and thought leaders from BRICS nations to discuss pressing global and regional issues from multidisciplinary perspectives.

Held annually in the lead-up to the BRICS Summit, the Forum serves as a platform for academic institutions to present research, share knowledge, and offer evidence-based policy recommendations to BRICS leaders.

The Forum encourages dialogue on themes such as global governance, economic cooperation, climate change, innovation, public health, and social equity. Its outcomes contribute to shaping the broader BRICS agenda by ensuring that academic insights inform policymaking and strategic direction.
