EIA Community Meeting 2026
Free event, open to IES members only
Join us for the next Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Community meeting of 2026, where we will be discussing the update to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and how the roll-out of EORs may impact the profession.
You will also hear about what the Community has done since the last meeting, have the opportunity to feed into plans for 2027, and discuss topical EIA issues with your peers.
Our EIA Community provides a forum for thought-provoking, critical conversations around EIA from a science-based perspective. The Community aims to connect and support environmental scientists and practitioners working across a range of specialisms involved in the EIA process.
Community meetings provide an opportunity for EIA professionals within our membership to steer services for their specialism, discuss topical issues in the sector, and network with fellow environmental professionals. All IES members working in EIA with an interest in contributing to community activities are welcome to join us for this meeting!
If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to contribute to the discussion, please submit comments via email to Ethny Childs (ethny@the-ies.org).
