Call for speakers and poster presentations at the ND EPSCoR Annual State Conference

Faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows from North Dakota institutions of higher education are invited to submit an abstract for presentation at the 2026 ND EPSCoR Annual State Conference.

This one-day, statewide conference to be held at the Clarion Conference Center in Minot on October 20, 2026, is intended for all ND faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, and STEM professionals. The conference's focus is to provide opportunities to share research results and promote opportunities for collaboration in STEM fields. We encourage presentations and posters on topics related to fundamental and applied research, broader impacts, broadening participation, K-20 STEM education, and workforce development. Faculty who are newcomers to EPSCoR programs will learn more about statewide collaboration opportunities.

Abstract submissions from researchers and students supported by an NSF EPSCoR Award (i.e., RII Track-1, E-CORE, E-RISE, TCUP, Track-2, and Track-4), and other EPSCoR-like programs are highly encouraged. The deadline for submission is September 4, 2026.
