What distinguishes ICDD from conventional academic conferences is its deliberate bridging of scholarly inquiry and lived practice\, a space where theoretical questions are tested against the experience of those who debate\, coach\, and teach. \nBuilding on two editions of growing scope and reach\, the 3rd ICDD invites researchers\, scholars\, educators\, and debate practitioners to contribute theoretical\, empirical\, and applied work across three themes: argumentation theory and its applications\, debate in education\, and the emerging relationship between debate and artificial intelligence. The conference will be held in Doha on 1–2 June 2027\, and welcomes contributions in both Arabic and English. \n \n \n \n Date \n1 – 2 June 2027 \n \n \n Location \nDoha\, Qatar \n \n \n Conference Language \nArabic & English \n \nFor More Details\n \n Learn More URL:https://qatardebate.org/event/3rd-international-conference-on-debate-dialogue/ LOCATION:QNCC – Qatar National Convention Center\, Education City\, Doha\, Doha\, 00974\, Qatar CATEGORIES:Academic & Research Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://qatardebate.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ICDD3-General-Header-scaled.png ORGANIZER;CN="QatarDebate":MAILTO:qatardebate@qf.org.qa END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
