EARA2026 will bring together leading researchers, practitioners and early-career scholars interested in adolescence, and offer a dynamic platform to share innovative work, forge new collaborations and deepen our understanding of this pivotal life-stage. The conference theme is Dynamics of Youth. This theme reflects the strong collaboration of EARA2026 with Utrecht University strategic research theme Dynamics of youth, in which researchers from different disciplines integrate their expertise to answer crucial societal questions for future generations.

You can expect a rich scientific program, including keynote lectures, invited symposia and workshops, opportunities for early-career researchers to engage and network. A social program including conference dinner and excursions around Utrecht will allow you to connect informally.
