UNO's annual research symposium spotlights the investigative work being conducted on our campus and in our research community. If you are engaged in research, scholarly, creative, or innovative projects, you can use this platform to test your ideas, network with your peers, and share your success. Students can even win awards! Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff can present their work as oral presentations, art displays, performances, or film screenings.

Judges will be asked to evaluate participants' presentations using a standardized rubric. You cannot be a judge if you are participating as a presenter.
All judges will be required to attend a judging orientation (schedule TBA).
Registration to serve as a judge ends on October 16, 2020.
