Nature Connections 2026 will take place on 16th July in Derby, bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in nature connection to share and discuss the latest research, ideas, and applications. To keep costs down we’ve returned to a single day. You can submit an abstract or book your place here.
Over a decade on from the first Nature Connections, the event has grown into something special, and for 2026 we look forward to welcoming you to a new venue, next (i’m promised) to a kingfisher highway, but still in the city and within easy reach of the railway station.
As ever, the day is made by those that attend and we invite submissions for ten-minute talks or poster presentations. Submissions should outline a study, project or practice that focuses on nature connection – people’s sense of relationship with the more-than-human world. We welcome submissions from any sector, including academics, creatives, practitioners, and other professionals.
Deadline: 5th March 2026
Hope to see you in July!
