The conference will be held at the Ateneo de Manila's Loyola Heights campus in Quezon City, Philippines.
Ateneo de Manila began in 1859 when Spanish Jesuits established the Escuela Municipal de Manila, a public primary school established in Intramuros for the city of Manila. However, Ateneo's educational tradition embraces the much older history of the Jesuits as a teaching order in the Philippines.
Today, Ateneo is the top private institution in the Philippines ranking 511 out of a total of 1,501 institutions from 106 territories in the 2026 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings.
According to Fr Roberto Yap SJ, University President,
"It affirms that Ateneo can stand alongside the world’s leading institutions—not just in academic reputation, but in making a meaningful impact through teaching, research, and service."
