On October 21 and 22, 2025, in the spiritual heart of the world — the Vatican — the 10th Anniversary of *the World Changers Summit: Transcendence. Unveiling the Future of Humanity* took place under the patronage of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and with the support of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation (IASC).
The Summit brought together distinguished scientists, leaders, diplomats, and spiritual figures from around the globe to discuss the future of humanity and the role of technology, ethics, education, and spiritual values.
The founder and inspirer of the Summit is Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli — philosopher, humanist, and visionary, President of the IASC, who promotes international cooperation in the fields of science, diplomacy, and ethics.
Particular attention was drawn to the address by Pastor Mark Burns, spiritual advisor to Donald Trump, one of the most influential religious leaders of our time, and founder of the international Spiritual Diplomacy initiative, which unites representatives of different faiths in the name of peace, mutual respect, and the protection of human dignity. His inspiring speech, which opened the first plenary session of the Summit, sounded like a call for unity and interfaith dialogue.
The Summit also featured Maryna Ovtsynova, President of ALLATRA International Public Movement — a global alliance of scientists, experts, and professionals from more than 180 countries, who work on a voluntary basis to find scientific solutions to climate and humanitarian challenges, promote the ethics of cooperation, and protect human rights.
One of the highlights of the Summit was the formal presentation of Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli’s book “Transcendence: Quantum Computing, AI, and the Future of Humanity.” The event took place in the very heart of Rome — at the Princess Salons of Palazzo Brancaccio, one of the city’s last remaining princely residences.
In his book, Professor Andreoli raises the question of humanity’s moral responsibility amid rapid scientific progress.
The presentation was followed by a substantive panel discussion with leading representatives of the Vatican, scholars, and spiritual leaders, including Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia and the author himself, Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli.
The Summit concluded with a solemn Mass at the Church of Santa Maria in Montesanto, celebrated by His Excellency Monsignor Antonio Staglianò, President of the Pontifical Academy of Theology. This event symbolized the emergence of a new form of global leadership founded on spiritual and ethical values — a leadership where faith meets intellect, and science aligns with moral responsibility.
ALLATRA International Public Movement expresses its sincere gratitude to Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli and Pastor Dr. Mark Burns for their outstanding contribution to the development of interfaith and humanitarian dialogue that unites nations, traditions, and cultures in the name of peace, kindness, and a creative future for all humanity.
For ALLATRA Movement, it was a great honor to take part in this significant event and contribute to strengthening cooperation, exchanging experiences, and promoting meaningful dialogue among science, spirituality, and society.
