IAGLR 2024

Join us in Windsor, Ontario!

Researchers from around the world will gather in Windsor for the 67th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research—the fifth time we've gathered in this central location along the Detroit River, or Waawiyaataanong Ziibi , known as "where the river bends" in Anishnaabemowin. A great program is in store with four days of scientific sessions and speakers centered around our theme Shared Lakes: One Water, One Health. This focus will offer a unique opportunity for both the science and local communities to share about the health of the Great Lakes and will highlight the intersections between environmental and public health in the context of large lakes, often shared across borders, and the communities impacted by them.

Mark your calendars for May 20–24, 2024. You won't want to miss it!

IAGLR 2024 Land Acknowledgement

We honor the long-standing relations of many First Peoples to this Place, which sits in the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations comprising the Ojibwe, Odawa, Bodwewaadmii. We recognize that this Place was—and is—home to many First Peoples and that colonial harms are still ongoing. We will advance understanding of Great Lakes ecosystems together through renewed and respectful relationships. We commit to working together across disciplines, knowledge systems, and domains of expertise by sharing knowledge and building partnerships. We believe that multiple ways of knowing are vital for understanding an ecosystem and the role humans have in maintaining its sustainability. We seek to reflect this commitment in IAGLR’s practices and programs.

We acknowledge that this is a living statement and invite your comments to ensure healthy relationships and a welcoming space within the IAGLR community.
