Following the launch of UNBC’s new Strategic Plan, the Office of Research and Innovation is excited to announce upcoming changes to UNBC’s Research Week!

Research Week is no longer being held in its previous format and will instead has been restructured as a new “Research Showcase Series”. This change was being made in an effort to find more effective ways to engage the UNBC research community, in alignment with the Strategic Plan’s aims to inspire creativity and ignite curiosity for research. Instead of a single week-long event, this new series features events throughout the year to highlight research activities more often, to maintain the enthusiasm around the exciting work underway at UNBC.

Planned events over the next several years include the annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT^®) graduate student event; Poster and/or oral presentation sessions for student researchers; Industry and community networking events; and Information sessions and/or workshops on topics of interest to the research community.

Past events that have been sponsored by the Research Showcase Series include:

• EDI in Research Presentation - February 20, 2024
• 2024 Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition - March 7, 2024
• CHEM/BCMB Undergrad Student Research Mini Symposium Day - April 18, 2024
• FunMol Graduate & Senior Undergraduate Symposium - April 24, 2024
