The School of Graduate Studies and UNB Libraries' Harriet Irving Library Research Commons announce the winners of this year's Images of Research and Models of Research Challenge.
The 2023 editions of the Images of Research and Models of Research challenges invited UNB graduate students to submit either an image or 3D model they believe encapsulates their research and to explain in 200 words or less its association to their research. Each challenge was adjudicated by a separate cross-disciplinary panel of UNB faculty, and the winners were announced March 23rd, 2023 at the Graduate Student Research Conference, held in the Wu Centre on the UNB Fredericton Campus.
