INSPIRE Research Symposium
The Interdisciplinary Series for Professional Intellectual and Research Engagement (INSPIRE) initiative:
- is an interdisciplinary graduate initiative which is led by a team of graduate students at the University of Regina;
- hosts events and workshops to enhance student success in professional and academic domains.
What is the INSPIRE Research Symposium?
- The INSPIRE Research Symposium strives to engage students at the University of Regina from all disciplines in a full-day research conference.
- The main goal of the INSPIRE Research Symposium is to function like a formal academic conference so that students gain exposure to an academic conference within a safe and comfortable setting.
Why should I engage with the INSPIRE Research Symposium?
- The INSPIRE Research Symposium allows you to talk about your research in a comfortable setting and network with other students and faculty from different departments.
