Analysis
A Golden Experience to Share Globally
Iran's experience in managing the Arbaeen pilgrimage is unparalleled globally. The country's expertise in mass gathering management is truly golden and can be shared internationally. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is striving to create a platform to transfer Iran's knowledge, scientific documentation, and experience on mass gathering management to other countries.
Establishing an Educational Hub
The IFRC is currently consulting and exchanging views with Iranian officials to establish an educational hub for mass gathering management in the country. This hub will provide ongoing specialized training, preserve and pass on the knowledge to future generations. The hub will serve as a regional hub to train other nations and share expertise with them.
Interdisciplinary Research and Multi-Center Studies
The congress includes 25 scientific panels and eight training workshops, which highlight the idea that health in mass gatherings depends on interdisciplinary research and multi-center studies, analyzing data, and utilizing modern technologies—including artificial intelligence and modeling. This year, 515 articles were submitted to the congress, out of which 19 articles will be delivered as lectures, and 22 as posters. The congress is hosting 105 lecturers in different sectors this year.
