Purpose of Northern IGNITE:  The purpose of this event is to discover pathways between industry and Lakehead University researchers, students and faculty to celebrate past partnerships and encourage future partnerships and collaborations.

Event description:   For several years, Lakehead University graduate students have taken the stage to participate in the internationally renown Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.  Our event goal is identical, except we are challenging the faculty and researchers to step up to the mic.

To facilitate these connections, our office will showcase ten researchers delivering compelling presentations of their research, project, innovation or journey – 180 seconds or less – using only one static slide. This style allows presenters to effectively communicate their research to the community, and afford faculty and students the opportunity to share why they are passionate about their work.

Who should attend? Undergraduate Students, Grad Students, Faculty, Industry and Organizational partners from the city and region.
