Emerging Contaminants in the Environment Conference
ECEC is an annual conference where scientists, educators, industry experts, and government officials gather to discuss contaminants of emerging concern and the issues they pose. The conference is typically held in April and, starting in 2027, ECEC will be entirely virtual in odd-numbered years and in person only in Champaign, Illinois, in the even-numbered years.
Learn more about this year’s Emerging Contaminants in the Environment Conference.
Sustainability Seminars
ISTC’s Sustainability Seminar series features presentations by researchers, policy makers, and corporate executives on topics related to sustainability, energy, and the environment.
Come share scientific research with peers in a relaxed, informal environment. All seminars are held virtually, last about an hour, and are certified green events. We typically hold one or two seminars per month during the academic year.
