Monday 5 to Thursday 8 June

Celebrate, Connect, Energise
UC Research Festival 2023 aims to showcase the University’s connection to Canberra and celebrate the impact of some of our successful university-industry partnerships within Canberra and the region. Presenting with our collaborators, we hope to demonstrate the benefits of research partnerships with UC beyond the tangible outputs.
Held over four days, the festival will include research presentations and pitch competitions, public lectures, tours and workshops, and networking and social activities. This year, Research Festival will also include the HDR Bazaar, a conference-style event showcasing the diversity of UC’s Higher Degree by Research candidates and projects.
We invite the Canberra community to join us on campus for this exciting demonstration of the impact of research in the community, and to meet and mingle with our researchers and industry collaborators.
Date: Monday 5 to Thursday 8 June
Venue: University of Canberra, Bruce (various locations on campus)
