About the Conference

Always an exciting day, the conference gives us a chance to share the quality and breadth of our research with a wider audience.

Masters and PhD students from both Lincoln University and the University of Canterbury present their research either as a short talk, longer talk or as a poster. Students gain the opportunity to showcase their work while industry professionals from across the water sector learn what is happening in water research. The draft programme is available here.

The conference is set for Wednesday 12 November, 2025, at Lincoln University. To attend, register below by 7 November. Walk-ins are discouraged due to catering requirements.

The event is free, thanks to our generous sponsors - go here for more information on sponsorships available.
