Western Inter-University Geoscience Conference

Join us at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB), January 8th 2027—January 11th 2027, for three days of learning and opportunity!

Welcome to the Western Inter-University Geoscience Conference! WIUGC is an annual student-led conference connecting geoscience students across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Every year, the host-university of the conference changes, and WIUGC is proud to return to the University of Alberta for the first time in well over a decade! WIUGC primarily targets undergraduate students in geoscience programs, however graduate students, faculty, and industry professionals are always welcome. This year marks the 60th annual WIUGC and we want to celebrate the legacy of this conference with you! Check out our itinerary for more information about our events, including our Industry Fair, Research Poster Competition, Banquet, and much more.
