Dialogue Spaces are the different forms the Interregional Dialogue Process takes throughout the year: webinars, thematic discussions, pilot initiatives, mapping exercises, international conference participations, and the annual conference.
Each of these spaces brings together governments, universities, multilateral organisations and knowledge networks to shape shared priorities, exchange knowledge and build common ground across regions.

The groundwork for the next edition was already being laid, with a pre-launch at CILAC and an official launch convened by the Colombian Government, the African Union, the AAU and ASCUN. A year in which the process consolidated its rhythm, simultaneously closing one edition and opening the next.

The process deepened its interregional reach and consolidated the annual conference, hosted by the Argentinian government in Buenos Aires, as the central moment of collective reflection.
