Conference Mission: The student research conference has several goals

  • For attendees, the conference is designed to promote UNM student research and encourage research collaborations amongst students and attendees.
  • For presenters, it is designed to allow new student researchers to experience a formal review process and practice creating and presenting research results in front of a large conference audience.
  • For organizers, the conference is designed to allow students to gain experience organizing and running a research conference.

Registration Info: Early registration ends at 5:00pm on Thursday, February 22rd. To register, simply send an email to with the following information: 1) Your name, 2) Whether you plan on eating lunch, and if so, your preference for vegetarian/vegan 3) Whether you want a copy of the conference proceedings.
