For the past sixteen years the University of Manitoba has offered undergraduate students an opportunity to showcase their research experience through the Undergraduate Research Poster Competition.

This year, to be more inclusive and to acknowledge the diversity and interdisciplinarity of the research and scholarly undergraduate work at the UM, we have rebranded the event as the Undergraduate Research Showcasehttps://umanitoba.ca/research/opportunities-support/undergraduate-research-showcase, offering 2 streams of competition and judging; Oral presentation and Poster presentation.

* In the Oral presentation, students will have a maximum of 3 minutes to explain/describe their research project in any means/media format of their choosing. i.e Oral presentations, PowerPoint presentations, 3-D demonstrations, videos, etc. * In the Poster presentation, students will set up a poster displaying their research and will present their poster during an established window of time.

The success of this event depends on volunteers, especially judges. I am writing to ask if you would be interested in providing a few hours of your time to assist us with judging this year’s competition.

The details of this year’s competition are as follows:

Date: Tuesday, October 31, 2023

Location: Multipurpose Room, UMSU University Centre (Manitoba Rooms 210 to 224)

Time: The judging will take place between 10:00am and 3:00pm, but judges will be assigned a 2-hr window of time closer to the event.

For both the Oral and Poster presentation formats, judges will be asked to evaluate approximately 4 to 6 students within their preferred format and category. Instructions and an assessment grid will be provided.

Refreshments and networking will occur from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m., with the award presentations starting at 4:00 p.m. Prizes of $500 and, $250 will be awarded to 1st and 2nd place in each of the five categories: Applied Sciences, Natural Sciences, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Creative Works.

If you are interested in volunteering as a judge, please fill out this linkhttps://uofmvprio.formstack.com/forms/undergraduate_research_showcase_urs_2023_judging_pool by Friday, October 13, 2023.

Thank you in advance for helping to make this event a success.

Dr. Hans-Joachim Wieden

Associate Vice-President (PKMI)
