About the Research Services Fair
The Research Services Fair (RSF) is a vendor-style fair that provides an opportunity for researchers to learn about campus resources and services available for their research and scholarship activities. During the last RSF, over 60 campus units introduced their services to approximately 400 faculty, staff, and students. This year’s event will be hosted at the IMU Main Lounge.
Fair Attendees Will:
- Learn about campus’s cutting-edge instruments and technology as well as many other services available in support of funding applications and research programs
- Interact with centers, institutes, core facilities, and other service units in a vendor-style fair
- Network with colleagues
Target Audience:
- Researchers of all levels (i.e., faculty, staff, post-docs, students)
- Research Support Staff
