Programme

The programme of Power to the Peatlands 2026 is currently under development. While the detailed schedule and speakers will be announced later, the thematic framework and overall structure of the conference are already defined.

From 2–4 September 2026, the conference will bring together scientists, policymakers, land managers, practitioners, NGOs, communicators and private sector representatives to advance peatland restoration across Europe, with a strong focus on implementation of the European Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR).

Programme structure

The conference spans three days and offers a dynamic mix of formats designed to encourage learning, exchange and collaboration.

Day 1 & Day 2 – Main conference programme

The first two days take place indoors and combine plenary sessions with parallel tracks. Organised sessions and keynote lectures form the core of the programme, complemented by dedicated abstract blocks featuring short presentations to ensure broad participation and knowledge exchange.

Day 3 – Field visits

The third day is reserved for field visits, offering participants the opportunity to experience peatland projects and practices first‑hand.
