• 8:00am - 9:00am - Presentations

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.

About the Event

The Undergraduate Student Research Conference celebrates the contributions of emerging researchers at Lakehead University. This conference provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to present a poster or an oral presentation on a research project they are working on or have completed, while engaging in scholarly debate with their peers.

Students enrolled in any undergraduate discipline who are currently working on, or have completed, a research paper or project, having taken a leadership role in its development and execution, are invited to present an original poster or oral presentation. Proposals can be disciplinary-specific or multi-disciplinary.

Participants are encouraged to engage with and interpret the theme for Research and Innovation Week 2020: Our Creative Minds.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to showcase their work in a professional setting before their peers, faculty, and the public.

Oral and poster presentations are peer judged, and winners from each participating faculty are selected. The winners are invited to lunch with President Dr. Moira MacPherson on Friday, March 13, 2020.

This year's event will again involve both poster displays (in the Lakehead University Agora) and oral presentations (in the Lakehead University Senate Chambers) from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on March 2, 2020.
