About

Welcome to the 28th Annual Graduate Research Conference (GRC), to be held on May, 5-6, 2022 virtually due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As a multi-disciplinary conference, there is something for everybody at the 2022 GRC. The conference is open for all students and the public to attend and there is no registration required or fee. Hope to see you there!

The Graduate Research Conference (GRC) is a conference designed for graduate students, by the Graduate Students Association (GSA). It provides an opportunity for students from different faculties and departments to come together and share their ideas. The mandate of the GRC is to provide a forum for graduate students to present their research in a supportive environment, gain presentation skills, and develop links with the greater graduate community.
