Conference VENUE

SIP’s ninth annual conference will take place June 17-19, 2026.

The conference will be held at the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI), an academic space within the University of Edinburgh offering interdisciplinary learning, research, and collaboration opportunities. EFI draws on diverse disciplines to support creative and ethical work with all kinds of data to foster interdisciplinary perspectives that enable transformational, sustainable, and ethical innovation and change.

Housed in the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, EFI is located at 1 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9EF. Once a center for care and connection, this city landmark has been thoughtfully transformed into a vibrant hub for ideas, creativity, and community.

See the conference program for specific session locations.

The conference will begin on Wednesday, June 17 (check-in and meet & Greet) and will conclude on Friday, June 19.
