The ISI Executive Committee invites members of the ISI and its Associations to submit proposals for the 6th United Nations World Data Forum, to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 9–12 November 2026. The event is an important gathering, brining together governments, international organisations, business, donors and other stakeholders. It represents a significant opportunity for the ISI to reaffirm its role and strengthen relationships with existing and new partners.

The ISI can contribute by organising events (for example, panel discussions or learning activities), following the guidelines and deadline, 26 January 2026, indicated in the call for proposals available at the following link:
