poster set-upUWill Discover will host more than 125 presenters through next week during its student research conference.

Conference to share student research and creative works

UWill Discover Sustainable Futures ambassadors invite the campus community to support their peers in action at the CAW Student Centre next week.

Conference-goers can review the conference schedule and visit poster sessions, oral presentations, a Humanities Research Group panel, STEMx Policython finals, Outstanding Scholar leadership presentations, and human development presentations. Everyone can join the action by listening to the UWill Discover podcast and visiting the UWill Discover YouTube channel anytime.

“UWill Discover is an ecosystem of opportunity for the entire student body where undergraduates and graduates alike learn to share their work beyond the classroom and their labs,” says conference chair Tim Brunet. “With every annual cycle, the conference has become more sustainable, more efficient, and more effective as a knowledge-sharing platform.”

Conference proceedings are published and connected to Google Scholar and the Open Aire project. Award-winning presentations may find publication in the UWill Discover Journal. Students submit and publish podcasts. Campus researchers use UWill Discover to bolster their mentorship and training structure for their research assistants.

The multi-disciplinary project has given students the courage to present at conferences around the world. Participants have moved into new roles, including UWill Discover ambassadors, peer reviewers, authors, editors, and Model United Nations leaders.

Poster sessions will run 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. March 17 to 21 in the CAW Student Centre Commons. It is free to view the presentations. For more information, see the conference website.
