Register today for the inaugural Great Lakes Microplastics Summit, taking place virtually on October 22. Hosted by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), this free one-day event will bring together researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders from across the region to network, share insights, and explore the latest findings regarding microplastics in both surface water and drinking water.
This is a unique opportunity to hear from thought leaders, engage in Q&A sessions, and connect with colleagues who are shaping the future of microplastics research and management.
Agenda highlights:
-
Fate and transport of microplastics – with experts from the University of Toronto, Rutgers University, Arcadis, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
-
Microplastic analysis methods – advances in lab and field approaches with Eurofins Environment Testing and the U.S. Geological Survey.
-
Human and ecosystem health impacts – findings from Oregon State University and University of Toronto researchers.
-
Interactions with other contaminants – insights from the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center.
Whether you're from a university, government agency, nonprofit, or simply interested in microplastics in the Great Lakes, this summit offers a valuable opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate. Join us as we advance the conversation on microplastics in the Great Lakes.
Registration for this inaugural event is free.
