What is UnERD?
The University of Toronto’s Undergraduate Engineering Research Day (UnERD) is an annual conference where undergraduate engineering students gather to present their research to a broad audience of fellow students, faculty, and industry professionals. UnERD aims to promote collaboration and networking, as well as the exchange of innovative solutions across a wide breadth of global challenges.
This year, UnERD will take place on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at the Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship. All students, professors, and researchers are welcome to attend!
