UVM Student Research Conference

Promoting research, scholarship, creative work & innovation

All UVM students performing research or creative projects under the mentorship of a UVM faculty member are encouraged to participate. Research and creative projects at any stage of completion are welcome.

We expect the coming year's conference to be even bigger and more diverse than ever before. We've grown from the more than 200 students who participated in the 2010 conference, to the over 250 students at the 2011 conference.

The 2012 Student Research Conference is co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research, the Graduate College, and the Honors College.
