Ticket sales are open for the ECLAS Conference 2026, Take Care – Planetary Landscape Architecture. The conference will take place from 16 to 19 September 2026 in Delft, the Netherlands at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of Delft University of Technology and the nearby industrial heritage venue Lijm & Cultuur. This year’s edition of the conference is organised by the Dutch School of Landscape Architecture, a partnership of NVTL and seven educational institutions for landscape architecture in the Netherlands and Flanders.

The theme of the conference, Take Care – Planetary Landscape Architecture resonates with landscape architecture professionals from across Europe and beyond, who have submitted a record number of papers and visual essays. Many of these groundbreaking theories, methods, perspectives, challenges and didactics will be featured in the conference, in the form of presentations, interactive sessions, debates, workshops, exhibitions and installations.

Participants are invited to secure their place at the conference. Given the record number of submissions and expected high attendance, early registration, open until 31 May at a discounted rate, is encouraged to ensure the best possible conference experience. A selected online programme will also be available, but in-person attendance is strongly recommended to fully engage and connect with the international community. As September is a busy period, participants are advised to arrange accommodation well in advance; suggestions are shared via the conference website. DSL looks forward to welcoming you to the lowlands to share ideas, build narratives, and strengthen relationships together.

Order your tickets via Oxford Abstracts, until May 31 you will receive early bird discount.
