2025 Acadia National Park Science Symposium (POSTPONED)

Unfortunately, due to the lapse in federal government appropriations, the 2025 Acadia National Park Science Symposium has been postponed.

Although the current government shutdown presents many challenges, especially with the absence of our valued partners at Acadia National Park, our work at Schoodic Institute continues. We remain committed to advancing science in and beyond Acadia, and we look forward to reconnecting soon.

Please stay tuned to our website and social media for future updates on the Science Symposium, as well as our science. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Join us on Thursday, October 16 from 9:00am – 3:30pm (in-person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom) for a full day of symposium events, including speaker sessions, networking opportunities, poster sessions, and lunch at Schooner Commons.

Hosted by Schoodic Institute and the National Park Service, the Acadia National Park Science Symposium provides a forum to learn about science taking place in the region and to interact and build collaborations with scientists, educators, students, park staff, and others working in a range of fields. The theme of this year’s symposium is wildlife.

You can learn more about the science symposium here.

The symposium will take place in-person at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus (Winter Harbor, ME) and online via Zoom. This virtual option is open to speakers and attendees alike. Your registration for in-person attendance includes morning coffee and pastries, lunch, full access to our morning and afternoon poster sessions and speaker sessions, and more.
