The Nelson Institute will again be hosting a student research symposium as part of the spring Global Citizen Forum to be held March 1–3, 2023. Proposals to present research as the symposium are due Friday, Feb. 10. The theme for the 2023 Global Citizen Forum is Social impact and responsibility.
The Nelson Student Research Symposium promotes a university-wide discourse on global intercultural tops. It is recommended that presentation topics for the 2023 symposium with one (or more!) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs provide a framework for tackling complex global issues such as poverty, sustainable communities, climate action, and justice.
While Research presentations that support the theme are encouraged, all global topics from any academic discipline are welcome. We anticipate that the presentations will be about 15 minutes each. Undergraduate and graduate students are both eligible to present at the symposium.
Below are a few reasons why students (including, potentially, you!) should be encouraged to consider submitting papers for the symposium.
- It is a great opportunity to practice presentation skills, and obtain useful feedback!
- It is a platform to share the outcomes of research on a global topic of interest.
- It is a great addition to resumes, especially for students who are considering going to graduate school.
Proposal Submission
Papers (or concepts) should be submitted via Qualtrics form. Deadline: Friday. February 10th, 2023.
