Lake Champlain Research Conference
Lake Champlain Sea Grant, in partnership with the University of Vermont’s Water Resources Institute, the Lake Champlain Basin Program, and the Lake Champlain Research Consortium, is pleased to announce the next Lake Champlain Research Conference. The conference will be held from January 26–27, 2026, at the University of Vermont Davis Center in Burlington, Vermont.
The conference theme, Research to Action, will bring together lake and watershed stakeholders, including researchers, management practitioners, and the public, to learn about the state of research on Lake Champlain. The conference will feature representation and research from New York, Vermont, Québec, and beyond, providing an opportunity for discussion, networking, and collaboration across Lake Champlain’s multi-jurisdictional watershed.
Proposals for sessions are being accepted through July 1. Individuals may submit a proposal for a topic they would like to see covered at the conference by sending an email to seagrant [at] uvm.edu (subject: LCRC%20Session%20Proposal) with the subject line: LCRC Session Proposal and a short description of the topic. We welcome proposals across a broad range of subject areas applicable to Lake Champlain. For example, sessions from the 2022 conference included lake species and habitats, watershed education, road salt, cultural heritage, community engagement for water quality, aquatic invasive species, cyanobacteria, and agriculture.
