Students of the Summer Research Bursary Program are given the opportunity to showcase their work at Student Research Day.听听Among faculty members, judges and students present their summer research findings via interactive poster presentations.听
This year, the separate events were taking place on November 1st at Campus Outaouais and on November 8th at Campus Montreal. This allows students at Campus Outaouais to showcase their research to their colleagues and faculty members, potentially increasing interest.
听
Also, we are pleased to announce Best Research Report (Fall 2023, Winter 2024 and Summer 2024 Research Bursary Programs) prizes and Best Poster presentation prizes.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all members of Student Review Committee and poster judges for their time and commitment.
