Following the success of our inaugural 2026 event, RENEW's conference returns for a second year. Our second international conference is co-created with ETH Zürich, the University of Tokyo and Gachon University. We invite scholars, practitioners and policymakers to contribute new, creative and innovative insights, debate and thought leadership in regenerative design and engineering. Together, we will co-evolve new solutions with societal, cultural, ecological and economic co-impact.
Our goal at RENEW is to move beyond sustainability. We are finding regenerative solutions with positive impact, creating built environments, products and processes that contribute to the health of people and the planet.
What to expect
- A tranquil setting in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath, designed to foster genuine exchange
- A curated programme of talks, panels and flash presentations
- An 'Oxford-style' debate — this year’s proposed motion: 'AI has no place in regenerative design'
- A Question Time-style panel
We will announce more activities as they are planned.
