Invitation to contribute

United Consciousness invites academicians, researchers, research scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers, and professionals to submit original research papers for presentation at the United Consciousness Conclave 2027, to be held in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, from 15 to 17 January 2027.

United Consciousness is a global movement active in more than 120 countries, committed to integrating ancient Indian wisdom and modern science for holistic well-being, sustainable development, and peace. The Conclave aims to establish a Culture of Well-Being rooted in compassion, consciousness, and collective responsibility, with participation envisaged from more than 30 countries across six continents and all Indian states.

Under the theme “One Earth, One Health, One Consciousness: Global Well-Being”, the Conclave will explore the connections between individual flourishing, social harmony, and planetary well-being. We welcome research that connects ancient Indian wisdom with modern science, psychology, education, governance, and professional practice, including work relevant to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the One Health approach.

Purpose of the academic dialogue

The academic and research presentations will contribute evidence and practical insights to a global dialogue on well-being as a development paradigm beyond GDP. Contributions may examine how public systems, workplaces, educational institutions, and communities can embed well-being in their policies and practices. The Conclave aims to inform the Global Well-Being Declaration 2027 and encourage partnerships between academia, spiritual institutions, industry, and civil society.

Conclave programme

The three-day programme includes plenaries, keynote addresses, spiritual discourses, panel dialogues, yogic and meditation workshops, academic and research presentations, policy roundtables, art exhibitions, and cultural evenings. The Conclave is planned as an in-person event.
