The 3rd Annual Tri-Cluster Research Day
November 26, 2021
JOIN US FOR A RESEARCH DAY FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE OF HEALTH
Discover various research activities conducted by students and trainees from some of UBC’s Research Excellence Clusters. Students from the Data Science and Health, Women's Health and Biomedical Imaging and AI clusters will present posters that address the Future of Health.
Join us for a virtual morning of multi-disciplinary exploration as our students address pressing questions around the future of health.
The day will include:
- Virtual Poster presentations exhibiting students’ work
- Virtual Lightning-Round presentations by the top 10 abstracts
- Brainstorming Session for collaborative team grants
Why should you participate?
The goal of our Tri-Cluster Research Day is to provide a setting for faculty and students to identify current research projects that relate to their work and facilitate the co-creation of new research ideas.
Research Day will:
- Provide an opportunity for you to explain your research and gain valuable feedback;
- Hone your skills in writing an abstract and strengthen your presentation skills;
- Give you a chance to practice communicating your research to a diverse group of people;
- Let you meet potential collaborators and network with peers.
Presentations
Abstracts will be judged by professors from all three clusters. The top 10 will be invited to present their research in a 5-minute lightning talk. Abstracts are due October 24th, and successful applicants will be notified by November 12th, 2021.
