Virtual Student Research Conference: call for proposals

World Class Day 3 will take place on 16 March 2020.

World Class Day (WCD), a free online conference, highlights research carried out by students worldwide. Via live video link, participants introduce their projects to an international audience. Within a limit of five minutes, they accomplish these goals: ask an important new question that is grounded in the theory or method best suited for their own inquiry; identify a key insight that they have reached; and predict the next steps for the research trajectory.

This conference is designed for students to share their individual research across distances, disciplines, and cultures. They come together to share and discuss their work with their international audience.

Hosted by CUR Member, the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, WCD1 and 2 gave international exposure to 53 student researchers from various schools and disciplines at universities in China, India, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the Netherlands, and Canada.

Proposals are due by 15 February 2020 and can be sent using the application form (attached) to David.john.parkinson@usask.ca.
