The International Association for Society and Natural Resources (IASNR) conference emphasizes local to global resource management issues, environmental issues, collaborative stakeholder processes, and the social impacts of natural resource management. It is also a venue for presenting cutting-edge research and engaging in productive discussions focused on the sustainable management of natural resources.
The 2026 Conference is hosted by Oregon State University, home of the first ever IASNR Conference – then called ISSRM – in 1986. This convening will be particularly special, as we bring together research from across the world in celebration of nearly half a century of our community’s rich work. The theme of the 2026 conference is “Sustainable Horizons: Embracing Urgency While Honoring Our Roots.”
