International Student Research Forum

The world of research is more conducive to international collaboration than it has ever been before.

The International Student Research Forum provides an international stage for graduate research students to collaborate beyond the lines of disciplines and nationalities. The forum aims to attract the world’s brightest developing scientists and provides an opportunity to showcase world-class education and research.

UNMC is one of the governing institutions in the forum.

By building relationships with international colleagues at forums such as this, students are forging relationships that can positively yield scientific advances, which affect countless people around the world.

The University of Southern Denmark hosted the last International Student Research Forum in 2019. The forum was canceled in subsequent years due to COVID-19.
