The AMS Scientific Conference will be held on April 14 – 16, 2026, at CRCL Park, based on the Marineterrein in Amsterdam.
This year:
Under the theme 'Reinventing the City: Connecting the Dots, Closing the Loops', we spend three engaging days exploring how to maximize impact for a sustainable urban future.
- Day 1: Unexpected Connections: which untapped wisdom do we not yet use to the fullest extent?
- Day 2: Closing the Loops: How to facilitate sustainability through circularity, energy- and nature-based solutions and benefit from transdisciplinary approaches by closing the wheel of science.
- Day 3: Breaking the boundaries: How can we reconnect in society and contribute to cities in need, by focusing on education, innovation and living labs.
During this conference, the focus is on the following aspects: mobility, energy transition, circularity, digitalization, urban food systems, and climate adaptation; the Living Lab methodology; and the three overarching themes: resilient, regenerative, and just cities.
