Research Week
What is Research Week?
Research Week is Laurentian University’s annual celebration of innovation and discovery! Typically taking place in March, this dedicated week highlights the incredible academic work and groundbreaking research being done across our campus.
For graduate students, it is the ultimate platform to showcase your findings, connect with fellow researchers, and sharpen your presentation skills through key events like the Graduate Student Research Symposium and the highly anticipated 3MT Competition.
Specific dates and details will be updated closer to the event. If you have questions in the meantime about Research Week or how you can get involved, please contact us at graduatestudies@laurentian.ca.
