Call for expressions of interest for Research on Tap

Posting Date(s)

UPEI Research Services is relaunching Research on Tap, and we'd like your help.

Research on Tap provides an opportunity to talk about research and network with the public in a casual setting. The first session will take place at the Fox and Crow on Wednesday, October 11, at 7:00 pm for an evening of informal discussion and dialogue.

Each session is led by one or two faculty researchers from UPEI who present the central theme/topic in about 10-15 minutes in a way that is accessible, insightful, and exciting to the lay audience. The rest of the time is for questions and discussion. The conversation is interesting, engaging, and lively. 

A second Research on Tap session is planned for Wednesday, November 15 (location TBD, likely off campus).

Are you and/or a colleague interested in leading one of these discussions?  If so, please provide a short abstract to Research Services (researchservices@upei.ca) describing your topic and emphasizing how it would be of interest now to the PEI public. Please also indicate your preferred session (October or November). The deadline for expressions of interest for both fall sessions of Research on Tap is September 25, 2023.    

For questions, please contact Maria Steele, Manager, Research Services, at mlsteele@upei.ca or 902-566-6479.
