Mark your calendars: UnERD 2023 will take place on Wednesday, August 16, 2023! Please check back for more updates.
The University of Toronto’s Undergraduate Engineering Research Day (UnERD) is an annual conference organized by students that promotes collaboration and networking. After two years of online offering, this year’s event will be the first in-person conference since 2019!
UnERD aims to provide an opportunity for undergraduate engineering students to showcase their research to industry professionals and fellow students, inspiring the exchange of innovative solutions across a wide breadth of global challenges.
Extending this fifteen-year tradition, we encourage all undergraduate students who are doing research in the U of T Engineering community to participate in this annual event and present their research findings. The forms of presentation include poster and podium presentations, and all abstracts will be documented in a conference booklet to be made available to the entire community.
Get inspired, expand your network, start collaborating – only at UnERD 2022!
UnERD 2022 was held in-person in the atrium of Bahen Centre for Information Technology on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. We were pleased to accommodate more than 200 attendees throughout the day. With over 100 presenter registrations, this was a UnERD record! The next UnERD will be hosted in August 2023 - stay connected by following us on our socials below.
