Student opportunities abound at the 2024 Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada
Showcase student research (Applications are being accepted until
March 1!)
Do you know students conducting research in animal nutrition? Are they looking for opportunities to showcase their research and network with industry experts? If so, they don’t want to miss the student
opportunities available through the Animal Nutrition Association of Canada (ANAC) and the
Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada (ANCC).
The ANCC is a dynamic national conference that brings together researchers and feed industry specialists to exchange knowledge about the latest scientific developments related to livestock nutrition. This year’s
event will showcase a diverse program with the theme “Animal nutrition and feed security: global changes and local approaches”.
The ANCC Graduate Student Competitions include three categories:
- Oral
Presentation Competition: Two students will be selected to present their research in a 20-minute
oral presentation during the conference. Registration, travel and accommodation expenses for ANCC 2024 will be covered.
- Poster
Competition: Students will showcase their research during the Graduate Student Poster Exhibition event. Poster presentations will be evaluated by experts from industry and academia and prizes will be awarded.
- Up-and-Coming
Research Mini Presentations (new for 2024!): This new presentation category is intended for
early-stage graduate students (both master’s and PhD level), who do not yet have research results, to showcase their project motivation and the benefit their work will have for industry. Selected students will deliver a 10-minute presentation during the conference.
More information about the student competitions, including application criteria and details on how to submit your application, can be found on the
ANCC website.
Student Networking Event
In addition to the opportunities to present their research, students can also participate in a
networking event to learn more about the diverse career opportunities within the Canadian feed industry.
ANAC Graduate Scholarship: call for applicants
The Animal Nutrition Association of Canada (ANAC) is pleased to offer the
ANAC Graduate Scholarship to a
