Join us on July 8th to 10th 2026 at the University of Guelph for the Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) conference bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders from around the world. Organized by the University of Guelph and UNDO Carbon Canada.
Taking place from the evening of July 8th and continuing through full-day calendars on July 9th to 10th, this two-day event will showcase the latest advances in ERW through poster sessions, oral presentations, round-table discussions, plenary speeches, and a tour to the Simcoe Research Stations where you will see ERW and MRV in action.
Hosted at one of Canada's leading agricultural research institutions, in the heart of Ontario's food and crop institutional hub, the conference welcomes participants at all career stages - from undergraduate students to established professionals - and provides a collaborative space to share insights, discuss emerging findings, and advance the global ERW community.
