The Research & Innovation Office (RIO), in collaboration with the United Government of Graduate Students (UGGS), is inviting graduate and professional students from all disciplines to participate in a poster session with lightning talks as part of Research & Innovation Week, Oct. 14–18, 2019. 

The second annual Research & Innovation Week is a weeklong celebration and showcase of research, scholarship and creative work across the entire campus.

The week’s activities and events aim to bring the campus community together and demonstrate the broad impact of the work of CU Boulder’s faculty, researchers, postdocs, students and staff. In addition to boosting visibility for the work of the campus, the week creates opportunities for collaboration and recognize exceptional leadership and outcomes. 

Additionally, several events will appeal to audiences beyond campus, such as the Boulder community, industry partners, the entrepreneurial ecosystem and more. 

Poster session and lightning talks  

Posters and lightning talks may present research, creative works, inventions and more, and will be accepted within specified size/time restrictions. The session welcomes novel presentation methods and styles, whether it is an original song for the lightning talk, photos of a performance for a poster, excerpts from a creative writing project or an interactive poster for explaining research. If you have an idea you want to confirm is appropriate for this forum, please email jennifer.reeve@colorado.edu.

Poster presentations are currently being accepted and the deadline to submit abstracts is Friday, Sept. 27.
