Abstracts must be submitted by Monday, March 2, 2020.
Faculty, postdocs and staff are encouraged to attend!
New Ways to Present Your Research
GW Research Showcase is piloting a new format for students and trainees to present their research. Does your research lend itself to a hands-on interactive exhibit? If so, you may apply for tabling space. Read more about this and other changes to the event.
