Hosted by Trinity University of Asia | May 8–9, 2026 | Hybrid

Universities across Asia will jointly convene the Trinity International Congress (TRIICON 2026), an international academic congress that brings together educators, researchers, and institutions to examine the evolving partnership between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.

TRIICON 2026 will be held on May 8–9, 2026, with pre-congress activities scheduled between April 6 and May 7, 2026. The congress will run in a hybrid format, with online sessions streamed through the TRIICON official website and onsite sessions hosted at Trinity University of Asia, Philippines.

The congress carries the theme: “Beyond Disruptions: The Human-AI Synergy and the New Blueprint for Success in the Humanities, Health, Sciences, and Business.”

A Congress Shaped Through International Collaboration

TRIICON 2026 is co-convened by a network of higher education institutions across Asia. This collaboration reflects their shared commitment to academic exchange, research collaboration, and future-ready education.

International Co-Convenors include:

• Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia — Jakarta
• Chang Jung Christian University — Tainan
• Scottish Church College — Kolkata
• Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages — Kaohsiung
• Universitas Telogorejo Semarang — Semarang
• Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana (UKDW) — Yogyakarta
• St. Andrew’s Theological Seminary — Quezon City
• Ton Duc Thang University — Ho Chi Minh City

Through this collaboration, TRIICON 2026 creates a shared academic space where institutions contribute speakers, research, reviewers, and academic leadership.

Shared Activities and Participation

As co-convenors, participating institutions may engage through:

• Hosting hybrid pre-congress seminars or workshops
• Contributing to plenary and parallel sessions
• Submitting paper and poster presentations from faculty, researchers, and students
• Supporting the congress through promotion, peer review, and committee participation

Purpose and Direction of TRIICON 2026

The congress responds to a global moment where artificial intelligence reshapes education, industry, and professional life. Rather than treating AI as a threat, TRIICON 2026 frames it as a partner that must be guided by human judgment, ethics, and creativity.

The congress advances three core aims aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals framework:

• Promote future-ready thinking through critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability
  (SDG 4: Quality Education)
• Encourage responsiveness to industry and professional realities
  (SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
• Strengthen academic exchange and institutional collaboration
  (SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals)

Tri-Focal Fields of Study

TRIICON 2026 is structured around three Tri-Focal Fields of Study, which serve as the academic backbone of the congress:

Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences
AI supports learning, mental health practice, and policy analysis. Human insight remains central as technology assists understanding, care, and social decision-making.

Business, Economics, and Information Systems
AI enables forecasting, systems intelligence, and security. Human leadership directs ethical use, strategic judgment, and accountability.

Sciences, Engineering, and Health
AI accelerates discovery through medical imaging, drug development, and predictive engineering models. Innovation advances with human welfare as the priority.

These fields form a unified academic framework that examines how technology reshapes roles while preserving essential human capacities.
