SUMMARY:2026 IAGLR-SCAS-SCSA Joint Conference
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to the joint conference of the International Association for Great Lakes Research and the Society of Canadian Aquatic Sciences—where global research on the world’s large lakes meets Canada’s rich tapestry of aquatic systems\, from rivers and lakes to oceans and groundwater. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect\, collaborate\, and advance our knowlege across scales and borders. \nThe conference theme—Connected Waters: Bridging Communities & Ideas—reflects our commitment to fostering dialogue across scientific\, Indigenous\, and local knowledge systems. It recognizes that healthy waters are sustained through relationships among diverse communities\, disciplines\, ecosystems\, and ways of knowing\, and it underscores the importance of collaboration in addressing aquatic challenges across Canada\, the Great Lakes\, and beyond. \nHosted by the IISD Experimental Lakes Area\, the conference will be hybrid\, so if you can’t make it to Winnipeg in person\, you’re welcome to join us online. We hope to see you May 25–29\, 2026.
