ISPC 2026 brings together a wonderfully diverse community of participants, including researchers, clinical practitioners, community leaders, NGO officers, policymakers, and many others who are committed to advancing social prescribing in theory and practice. We are delighted to host this vibrant gathering in Kyoto, a city that embodies rich cultural heritage, social connectedness, and a deep relationship with nature.
