Upcoming Partner Conferences (2)
Trier, Germany
Our Planet suffers from human activities. Agriculture, cities, nature and industries all need to transition to address the challenges related to climate, biodiversity and resource availability. More and more scientific and practical evidence arises that shows that nature-inclusive and nature-based solutions allow mankind to live within the planetary boundaries. Despite the evidence, NBS are still not the first choice when looking for transformative solutions for agriculture, nature, cities and industry.
To create the enabling conditions for the transition towards a society that stays within the planetary boundaries, it is needed that scientists, policy makers, financial institutes and industry join forces.
This conference aims to provide a platform for a broad range of stakeholders that together can exchange experiences and identify new transformational pathways towards a sustainable society within the planetary boundaries. TERRAenVISION promotes the exchange of scientific research, solutions from industry and insights from policy for interdisciplinary collaboration and networking. To facilitate the dialogue between scientists and stakeholders with the same goal, work on the same societal issue but with different backgrounds. By bringing the people and their knowledge together, we may be able to take the steps towards solutions that can bring our society to a more sustainable situation. In this conference, we want to link to International policies such as the Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Climate conventions, the Green Deal, COP and CAP.
This conference is framed around themes which are connected to the big transitions of our time. Each theme is kicked off by two plenary keynote speeches of 20 min, followed by a discussion. After the plenary session, various parallel sessions will be organised.
Conference themes:
- NBS in agriculture and nature.
- NBS for natural hazards mitigation.
- NBS in urban areas.
- Methodologies in measuring and implementing NBS.
- Science-Society.
Here, you can find detailed information regarding the sessions under each theme that are currently open for abstract submission: https://terraenvision.eu/sessions-2026/
We want to stress that this conference is not only for scientists, but also for those people from outside the scientific world working on transitions towards climate mitigation and adaptation, sustainable cities and agriculture and a circular economy with a focus on the sustainable use and management of the natural system.

Xi’an, China
The conference “Urban Biodiversity and Design (URBIO) 2026: Education for Urban Biodiversity in Design – Practice Led Research” will take place from 2 to 4 November 2026 in Xi’an, China. Organised by Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology, the International Network Urban Biodiversity and Design (URBIO), the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture, The University of Western Australia, and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ Leipzig, Germany, the conference aims to bring together scientists, students, academics, and landscape architecture and planning practitioners, as well as representatives of public authorities, decision-makers, and civil society to discuss issues related to the development of education for the effective implementation of biodiversity strategies in landscape architecture, urban planning, and management in urban areas. The main goal of this network and the 2026 conference is to exchange experiences from different countries on how to educate the next generation of students (including school and university programmes), practitioners, decision-makers, civil society organisations, and urban residents about the urgent biodiversity matters and possible solutions to mitigate the biodiversity crisis through management, design, and planning tools.
This conference will also facilitate knowledge exchange between scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplines to explore scientific advances, innovative strategies, and practical solutions for safeguarding biodiversity while promoting its sustainable use. It will particularly emphasise generational voices and provide opportunities for stronger integration of innovative concepts and approaches into research and teaching activities.
The conference will also include a PhD Forum to allow young researchers to exchange ideas and methods and to learn from experienced scholars and practitioners in the field.
Main Thematic Axes
- Opportunities and constraints in developing curricula and teaching urban ecology, biodiversity, and sustainable design in schools (pre‑university education), universities, and professional training programmes.
- Incorporation of urban biodiversity into governmental policies and strategies for landscape planning, design, land management, and restoration practices.
- Methods for developing joint comparative research studies, educational programmes, and citizen science projects.
- Challenges and opportunities in public education on biodiversity, practice‑led research, adaptive management, and design, with a focus on citizen engagement and ecological awareness.
- Integration of applied research into urban biodiversity graduate programmes.
- Successful case studies on nature‑based solutions and co‑creation, including citizen science and participatory education to support urban biodiversity and sustainable development.
- AI in urban biodiversity and design: advantages and disadvantages of its use and practical application.
Important Dates
- Abstract submission deadline: 1 May 2026
- Notification of abstract acceptance: 15 July 2026
- Registration deadline: 30 September 2026
