Resilient Landscapes & Seas Symposium 2026 Programme

The Resilient Landscapes & Seas Symposium taking place at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh on 10-11 February 2026 is the first annual RLAS symposium, and it will bring together leading organisations and stakeholders interested in large-scale land, freshwater, coastal and marine transformation.

The symposium aims to help build a more cohesive community in landscape transformation, share knowledge and best practice, and to connect and provide mutual support to landscape-scale projects across the UK. The 2-day programme will feature thematic sessions with keynote speakers, session talks and short talks, plus a poster session and other interactive formats. Themed sessions will include:

  • Setting the Scene

  • Working at Scale

  • Working in Partnership

  • Engaging and Involving Communities and Landowners

  • Funding for Landscape-Scale Projects

  • A Vision for the Future

We are seeking submissions for themed talks, short talks, and poster (deadline is Friday 14 November 2025). For more information, see Call for Submissions.
