2024 GRC Schedule of Events - Program (PDF)


UNH invites you to attend or participate in the 2025 Graduate Research Conference (GRC). The UNH GRC is an annual showcase in which UNH graduate students from all academic disciplines present their work and research on campus over the course of two days. There are both oral presentations and poster sessions every year. Whether you're a participant or an attendee, the environment is electric and you'll almost certainly learn something new. The UNH GRC is open to any graduate student or postdoc at UNH who would like to present research in either poster or oral form. Registration typically opens in February; more details will be shared soon. In the meantime, learn more about the 2024 GRC below.

Leitzel Center Awards

The UNH Joan and James Leitzel Center for Mathematics, Science and Engineering Education are specific awards presented each year at the UNH GRC. The awards recognize exemplary STEM education and outreach presented at the UNH GRC. The Leitzel Center will make up to two awards. Awards selection is based on the presenter’s demonstration of a significant contribution in at least one of two key areas:

  1. Graduate student contributions made in the design and implementation of STEM education research projects, which advance our understanding of STEM education.
  2. Graduate student contributions made in the design and implementation of STEM education outreach projects, which directly impact STEM teachers, instructors and faculty or STEM students of all ages through the application of enhanced STEM content or pedagogies.

Each Award is worth $500 to the winners. To be considered for the awards, you must contact Steve Hale at steve.hale@unh.edu to discuss your project and eligibiliy.

Sustainability Awards

The UNH Sustainability Institute is sponsoring awards for research that contributes to a more sustainable future. Sustainability, the collective commitment to human dignity for all people and ecological integrity in all places, is fundamental to the public good and is a core UNH value. The awards will recognize research that spans a diverse set of disciplines and topics, contributing to one (or more) of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Two $500 awards are available, one for a poster and one for an oral presentation. You will have the opportunity to indicate if you want to be considered for the awards during registration.
