Princeton Research Day is an annual celebration of early-career research and creative works by undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and other early-career participants. The event is an opportunity for presenters to develop their ability to communicate complex topics to broad, non-specialist audiences.
This opportunity is open to participants from across the campus in the arts and humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and engineering.
Participants will create and submit 3-minute videos about their research and creative work. All videos are available to view online. Watch online from April 29-May 2 at 9 AM (ET) and vote for your favorite presentation. The entry with the most votes will earn the FitzRandolph Gate award. The PRD panel of judges will choose the top videos for all other prizes.
Princeton Research Day is produced by the offices of the Dean of the College, the Dean of the Graduate School, the Dean for Research, the Vice President for Campus Life, with support from the offices of the Dean of the Faculty and the Provost.
