The forum has 250 seats across different funding categories.

FDF 2027 will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from February 10 to 13, 2027. Geneva is known as the world’s diplomatic hub, hosting the United Nations European headquarters, the World Trade Organization, and over 40 international organizations. The four-day program requires full attendance. Participants will engage with the UN system, WTO, and other Geneva-based institutions during the event.

There are 250 total seats: 50 fully funded scholarships, 100 partially funded scholarships, and 100 Forum Access seats. Paid options are also available: Invitation Letter ($99), Forum Access Pass ($299), and Self-Funded Package ($699). Each scholarship category has a $16.50 application fee. Fully funded and partially funded seats differ mainly in airfare coverage and accommodation inclusions.

FDF 2027 is open to all nationalities. Applicants must be between 18 and 45 years old. Students, recent graduates, and young professionals are especially encouraged. Any educational or professional background is welcome, and an interest in diplomacy, international relations, public policy, law, economics, trade, or human rights is an asset. Working proficiency in English is required, but no IELTS, TOEFL, or language certificate is needed.

No. FDF 2027 does not require IELTS, TOEFL, or any English language certificate. However, you should have working proficiency in English because English is the official language of the Forum. This makes the program accessible to participants from diverse linguistic backgrounds. You do not need to submit any language test scores at any stage of the application or selection process.

The fully funded seats include international round-trip airfare, 4-star shared accommodation (twin sharing), comprehensive visa support and invitation letter, summit meals and daily breakfast, airport transfers, inter-city transport, full forum and networking access, certification, merchandise, and speaking opportunities. This covers major travel and participation costs for selected delegates, allowing them to attend without paying for these core expenses.
