Maine Water Conference

The Maine Water Conference (MWC) is a program organized by the Senator George J. Mitchell Center which has a diverse interdisciplinary mission focusing on environmental research, graduate education and outreach. More specifically their Mission and Goals are as follows: As one of the network of congressionally-authorized water centers located at each Land Grant University, the Senator George J. Mitchell Center has a diverse interdisciplinary mission as a focal point for environmental research, K-G education, and outreach:
- to promote world-class caliber collaborative research among Maine faculty and external scientists,
- to facilitate the quest for research funding for the UMS and government scientists,
- to enhance training of future water resource professionals through research experiences and coursework,
- to offer information, guidance and environmental education as a public service to individuals, groups, and organizations.

The conference itself highlights these goals by bringing all these pieces together under one roof for a day in March every year.
