2024 National Gathering of Graduate Students

October 10 & 11, 2024. Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, Vancouver, BC on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

The National Gathering of Graduate Students (NGGS) is a national annual gathering that brings together Indigenous graduate students doing research on Indigenous health and well-being.

This is a unique event focused on the development, training, and mentorship of Indigenous students across Canada. It is also an opportunity for Indigenous students to network, relationship-build, knowledge share, build capacity, and participate in cultural activities. The NGGS is meant to foster belonging and support for Indigenous graduate students, as well as a place for skill and capacity building and knowledge transfer.

The National Gathering is a NEIHR and Indigenous Mentorship Network student gathering, not an open conference. Students are able to register if they have received an acceptance letter indicating that their abstract* has been accepted for presentation, or if they have been invited by a NEIHR/IMN to attend. Also attending will be faculty, community partners, and staff associated with and invited by the NEIHR/IMN networks. For more information, contact the NEIHR in your territory.
