This meeting will bring together community members, government representatives and leaders, policy makers, students, researchers, and academics with an interest in research in Labrador. As a transdisciplinary event, we invite participation from a range of research fields including the natural sciences, social sciences, health sciences, and the humanities.  Community-led research is particularly encouraged.

The Planning and Scientific Committees are organizing a dynamic program, including plenary sessions and keynotes, invited panels on ‘hot topics’, oral presentations, a poster session, and social activities. The LRF2019 will include pre-conference crafting and learning workshops. The conference is designed to encourage and facilitate opportunities for networking and collaboration, especially between trainees and mentors and researchers and communities.
