Global IFA Travelling Lectureship Programme 2026

The Travelling Lectureship Programme (TLP) is an initiative by the International Fiscal Association (IFA) coordinated by the Permanent Scientific Committee and designed to promote global tax knowledge and foster discussion among professionals from all tax constituencies on some of the most relevant tax topics both from a policy and practical perspective.

Through the TLP, distinguished tax experts visit various countries, delivering lectures and leading discussions on current international tax topics. The programme enhances understanding of complex tax issues, encourages knowledge exchange, and builds connections across the global tax community.
