Description
The 2026 Interdisciplinary Research Symposium brings together faculty, students, staff, and community partners from across disciplines to celebrate the creativity, collaboration, and innovation that drive research at UNLV.
Sponsored by the Division of Research, the goal of the symposium is to provide attendees with opportunities to:
- Build knowledge and capacity for participating in interdisciplinary research, creative activity, and scholarship.
- Foster collaboration across disciplines, units, and external partners.
- Develop skills for seeking and securing funding for collaborative and interdisciplinary research.
- Learn from colleagues about innovative research, scholarship, and partnership models.
The theme for this year’s symposium is “Where collaboration fuels discovery.” The program features a choice of six capacity-building sessions, including three geared toward technology. Explore 45 research posters spanning a wide range of topics, with six taking the spotlight in the popular Quickfire session.
Provost Lakshmi Reddi will talk about his passion for interdisciplinary research, plus there will be an announcement about the Faculty Opportunity Awards.
Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are all included, along with plenty of time to connect with faculty and staff across disciplines. Team members from all five of the Division of Research’s offices will also be there.
Please note: This is an in-person event only (no virtual participation available).
