The Scientific Advances for River Restoration (SARR) 2027 is a leading international forum that brings together scientists, researchers, and practitioners committed to advancing knowledge of river and floodplain systems. The conference, to be held on 1–2 September 2027, will showcase recent scientific advances and applied research in hydrology, geomorphology, climate, environmental management and social science. A central focus is work that informs and supports improvements in the condition of freshwater ecosystems.

The conference offers a platform to explore cutting‑edge research, share innovative ideas, and build connections across disciplines and sectors. Delegates will have opportunities to engage with international experts and contribute to discussions shaping the future of river restoration science. The inaugural SARR Conference in 2023, welcomed participants from 26 countries across 5 continents and featured internationally recognised speakers. Papers from the conference were published in a dedicated open-access Special Issue, alongside an accompanying Editorial. 

SARR 2027 aims to build on this momentum and further strengthen the international river restoration community. We invite potential participants to register their interest to receive updates as the conference programme develops.
