Research Discovery Workshop series launches Wednesday
A new series of workshops for SIU Carbondale faculty starting Wednesday, Nov. 1, will help attendees learn about their colleagues’ work, leading to potential collaborations.
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is sponsoring the Research Discovery Workshop series. All faculty are encouraged to attend the daylong workshops, which will feature a series of short presentations from a variety of faculty based on a central topic, as well as poster presentations. Faculty also may invite their graduate students, but only faculty are invited to give presentations.
Faculty should register for the event on D2L by going to Research Discovery Workshop 2023>Assessment>Surveys.
The first such event, set for this week in the Student Center Ballrooms, focuses on climate and the environment.

Other topics also will be considered.
