Dear all,
It is with pleasure that we invite you to the 29th International Association for People-Environment Studies (IAPS) Conference, which will take place from Monday 29 June to Friday 3 July 2026 at the University of Surrey, Guildford, United Kingdom. The conference website is now live at http://www.surrey.ac.uk/iaps2026, and you can follow us on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/iaps2026/) and Bluesky (https://www.linkedin.com/company/iaps2026/).
The theme of IAPS 2026 is Sustainability as Wellbeing: Towards healthy, green, and equitable communities. Transition towards sustainable lifestyles requires innovative, just, and holistic actions. At this conference, we turn the spotlight on the deep connections between the health of people, communities, and societies, and the health of the planet and its ecosystems, in pursuit of inclusive and equitable solutions to society’s most pressing challenges.
The Call for Abstracts will open in early October, along with information about registration, and we will send a second email to announce this. In the meantime we encourage you to explore the website, where you will find:
Details of our internationally renowned keynote speakers
Information about our Early Career Researcher Workshop
A Padlet to support development of symposia sessions
Information about what you can see and do in Guildford and its surroundings.
We are excited to welcome you to the University of Surrey in 2026!

Dear organizers, I would like to join your congress; however, there will be a UIA World Congress of Architects in Barcelona in the dates of 28/06/2026 to 02/07/2026. Such world congresses happen every 3 years in a chosen city, where all architects gather from all over the world to participate academic and social parts. The subjects chosen are very much of interest to architects, although we like to study interchangeable way with the other professions as well. I do not know if you will reconsider this and change the dates slightly so that we are able to join both events and conferences.
Ah that is very unfortunate! The dates for the IAPS conference have been set some time ago already so it is too late to change them now, but thank you for bringing this scheduling conflict to our attention!
Warm regards, Agnès
I am interested in attending the meeting and presenting research on the biophilic design of the soundscape in an urban green space. I would appreciate any additional information.
Dear Pablo, please keep an eye on the conference’s website (https://stories.surrey.ac.uk/iaps2026/) and/or their LinkedIn pages (https://www.linkedin.com/company/iaps2026) where they wil provide updates. There will be an announcement soon
