Any bet36365体育 student engaged in mentored research or creative activity is eligible and encouraged to participate, even if their work was not funded through bet36365体育.

Presentations include oral presentations, poster presentations, performances, and exhibitions. Poster and oral presentations are judged and awards are given at a reception at the end of the event. There are also writing competitions which will be judged prior to Research Day with prizes awarded at the closing ceremony.
