Nobiltà – Il Mondo del Cavaliere
In October 2025, Vatican City, The 10th Anniversary of the IASC World Changers Summit marked a milestone gathering at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, where leading thinkers and innovators convened for a historic event titled “Transcendence: Unveiling the Future of Humanity.”
This year’s summit united global experts from diverse fields, like quantum computing, ethical artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine, finance, art, and leadership; exploring them as dimensions of human consciousness and transformation.
“In a world accelerating at the speed of code, where institutions waver, they gathered not only to anticipate what is to come but to shape it — with wisdom, with spirit, with dignity.
Here, innovation meets conscience, science embraces faith, and humanity envisions its own rebirth: more integrated, more aware, more profoundly united.”
For the first time, this edition featured a Special Session titled: Legacy, Honor, and Meaning in the Modern World. In a century rushing forward, there is strength in remembering who we are.
Key Reflections:
1. The role of titles, honors, and noble tradition in ethical leadership.
2. The distinction between status and service.
3. Cultural continuity as the compass of moral identity.
4. The art of using ancient forms to guide modern responsibility.
5. It is not a nostalgic return to the past, but an ascent toward deeper meaning.
The theme of the conference was: Nobility, Chivalric Orders, and Systems of Merit: Ancient Values for the Future of Humanity. The sole invited speaker was Pierfelice degli Uberti, who masterfully addressed the past, present, and future, presenting three significant examples of future-oriented realities: The Order of Vitéz, The Real Asociación de Hidalgos de España (RAHE), And a groundbreaking scientific initiative: the Royal Protocol (RP), conceived and promoted by Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy
