March: Research Month

During Research Month we will be celebrating and sharing the details of the impact of Nipissing’s research locally, nationally and internationally, in addition to highlighting a series of events throughout March that are designed to share our research with our North Bay community and region.

  • Undergraduate Research Conference - UGRC celebrates the contributions of undergraduate research at Nipissing University and across Ontario.
  • Three Minute Thesis Competition - 3MT® is a university wide competition for Masters and Doctoral students in which participants present their research and its wider impact in 3 minutes or less to a panel of non-specialist judges.
