SMU Research Expo 2026 – March 6

Dr. Adam Sarty, Associate Vice President of Research, Saint Mary’s University, extends a warm invitation to this year’s Research Expo, an exceptional event to highlight and promote the innovative research of faculty and graduate students at Saint Mary’s University.

Research Expo brings together researchers from Science, the Sobey School of Business, and Arts at Saint Mary’s to share their research in the form of pitch presentations, posters, and exhibits. The 3-minute pitch presentation series will cover a wide variety of presentations from faculty.

Why Attend

This event is an excellent opportunity to network internally with researchers, graduate students, and staff across departments to learn about the research work happening at Saint Mary’s University. Some funding providers will also be available to answer questions about supporting research between the university and external partners (company’s, not-for-profits, government and hospitals)
