Call for applications to host Solutions Sessions (side events) has now been closed 

The Secretariat extends its appreciation for the remarkable engagement of Member States, intergovernmental organizations, the UN system, and accredited stakeholders, who collectively submitted nearly 500 proposals for Solutions Sessions. Following a thorough review process, the application period has now officially closed.

As part of the Second World Summit for Social Development (4–6 November 2025, Doha), a range of side events — known as Solutions Sessions — will be organized to promote dialogue, partnerships, and practical solutions for advancing social development.

Solutions Sessions provide space for Member States, UN entities, civil society, private sector, and academia to share experiences, co-develop ideas, and showcase initiatives aligned with the Summit’s core themes: poverty eradication, employment and decent work for all, and social inclusion.

There will be in-person Solutions Sessions at the Summit venue and virtual Solutions Sessions across different timezones.
