Rising Stars of Research 2010

In its third year now, Rising Stars of Research has become the most prestigious cross-disciplinary undergraduate research conference in Canada. The University of British Columbia hosted Rising Stars of Research 2010 from August 18-21, 2010.

The full list of award winners is now available at www.risingstars.ubc.ca/winners2010.

Rising Stars of Research (RSR) is an exciting and unique event which brings top undergraduate researchers from across Canada to BC to showcase their research accomplishments and explore their passion for innovation. All RSR events take place on the spectacular University of British Columbia campus. The centrepiece of "RSR" is a research poster competition and includes workshops, talks from outstanding faculty researchers, facility tours, and of course, a great time in beautiful British Columbia.

Students must apply and be chosen to attend RSR. Participation is limited to 120 students from Canada (regional limits apply), with special guests from approved international partner universities. The RSR registration fee is $100 which covers on-campus accommodation (three nights), food and other event costs. Every selected participant will also be eligible to receive travel support of up to $500 (fixed rates depending on residence by province).

Étudiants francophones
Les étudiants francophones sont fortement encouragés de soumettre une demande pour RSR. Au cours des deux dernières années, plusieurs étudiants exceptionnels des universités francophones ont participé au concours. Plusieurs d'entre eux nous avons dit que RSR était une occasion excellente de mettre en pratique leur habileté à faire une présentation scientifique en anglais. Notez bien que le concours d'affiches et toutes les activités seront présentés en anglais. Nous espérons que vous voulez nous joindre!
