Registration has opened for graduate and undergraduate presentations at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Virtual Student Research Days, scheduled for April 12-16. All students are invited to participate.

The annual fair showcases research and creative accomplishments by university graduate and undergraduate students. In lieu of the traditional poster session and creative exhibition, students are invited to develop a 5- to 8-minute video presentation to share through the dedicated Nebraska Research Days MediaHub channel. Interested students can register by March 12 and upload their videos by April 5.

The video presentations will allow participants to communicate their research results and creative activities to a wide audience. Each day will feature separate disciplines:

• Monday, April 12: Arts and Humanities
• Tuesday, April 13: Education, Business, Social Sciences
• Wednesday, April 14: Life Sciences
• Thursday, April 15: Physical Sciences
• Friday, April 16: Engineering

Zoom sessions that allow students to discuss their research with judges will be held in the mornings for undergraduates and afternoons for graduate students. The sessions will give judges the chance to ask questions about the research, akin to judges visiting posters during a typical, in-person poster session. Specific Q&A times and links will be sent to student registrants and judges after registration closes. Awards will be presented for top presentations.

Faculty, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students are sought to serve as judges for Student Research Days. Learn more about the judging process and volunteer to judge here.
