McMaster University -Future of Our Planet Conference 2026

Save the date for FOP2026, the inaugural Future of Our Planet Conference, hosted by the Planetary Health Initiative at McMaster University. It will take place from 22 to 24 November 2026 at McMaster Innovation Park, in Hamilton, Ontario, a hub for research, innovation, and collaboration.

FOP2026 brings together leading researchers, academics, and practitioners from around the world to address the defining challenges of our time. The conference is organized around three interconnected themes — Clean Energy, Ecosystem Health, and Human Wellbeing — reflecting the understanding that planetary health requires coordinated, cross-disciplinary thinking and action.

Over three days, participants will engage in keynote presentations, invited talks, and open academic sessions designed to foster meaningful dialogue across disciplines and institutions.

We welcome attendees from academia, research institutions, and practice communities whose work connects to one or more of the conference themes.
