Inspired by the United Nations Summit of the Future and its resulting Pact for the Future, this summit calls for global collaboration in the evaluation field to accelerate the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on meaningful youth engagement in evaluation and the ethical use of AI in evaluation. The summit will host the 2025 Youth in Evaluation Champions Award Ceremony, honoring organizations committed to empowering young evaluators.

Registrations open on 15 February 2025 as part of Evaluation Conclave 2025. Bursaries will be available to support young evaluation professionals to join in-person or participate online. Youth in Evaluation champions in 2024 and 2025 will receive a special invitation to attend the awards ceremony at the summit. Stay tuned for the summit programme.
