At the International Council for Education, Research and Training (ICERT), we believe that knowledge is a public good, not a privilege. Through ICERT Press, our official publishing arm under the Research, Innovation & Publications Division (ICERT–Sapientia), we are building a globally accessible, ethical, and inclusive scholarly publishing ecosystem.

Our Open-Access Journal Suite amplifies voices from academia, grassroots research, women scholars, early-career researchers, and Global South institutions, ensuring that impactful ideas reach the world—free of cost and free of bias.

ICERT’s open knowledge ecosystem directly advances SDG-4 (Quality Education), SDG-5 (Gender Equality), SDG-10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG-16 (Strong Institutions) by removing financial, geographic, and institutional barriers to high-quality research, leadership discourse, and evidence-based policy dialogue.

Through inclusive publishing, ethical peer review, and global knowledge dissemination, ICERT strengthens equitable learning systems, women-led scholarship, under-represented voices, and transparent academic governance worldwide.

Our Open-Access & Equity-First Publishing Promise

At ICERT Press, access to knowledge is a right—not a privilege. Our publishing model is designed to balance academic rigor, ethical publishing, and social equity, ensuring that high-quality scholarship reaches those who need it most.
