2025 UMass Intercampus Marine Science Research Symposium 

Wednesday, March 26 from 9am to 5 pm

Registration is now open – Click Here To Register!

 

Hosted by the School for Marine Science & Technology (SMAST) Graduate Student Association, the IMS Research Symposium is an opportunity for all UMass IMS Program faculty, research staff, and students to share their current or proposed research, receive feedback, and build their CV.

All attendees, presenting or not will have to register! The latest information about the symposium is available at the 2025 IMS Symposium Webpage, which will continue to be updated as time goes on with more dates and details!

This in-person event is free and is open to the public.

Call for poster and lightning talk presentations! 

If you choose to present a poster, that does not mean you will also have to present a lightning talk, they are both now separate and you can choose to do just one of the two, or both if you’re feeling daring!

Posters will be presented in a casual interactive format during the poster sessions.

Lightning talk presenters will present a 3 minute “lightning talk” accompanied by 1-3 PowerPoint slides. We are going to cap the lightning talk presentations at 20-25 participants this year so please sign up quickly – it is first come, first serve (in terms of who submits their abstracts, not who simply registers and declares they will be presenting)

Awards will be provided for the best overall poster presentation and best lightning talk. The deadline to register to submit your abstract for your poster or lightning talk is Monday, March 3, 2025. You can do so here. You will not be required to submit your actual poster or presentation until (Date TBD). You can do so here. We will continue to update the website as we finalize more dates and information!

We hope to see you there!
