Research Spotlights

Research doesn't only happen during Memorial's annual Research Week. In 2025-26, we're highlighting research all year long.

We recognize Reseaerch Week in November may be a busy time of year for some and that organizing an event during this time isn't ideal. With that in mind, faculties, schools and units are invited to host spin-off Research Week sessions, or Research Spotlight events, at times more convenient for you and your team. 

Design featuring the text Research Spotlight 2026 along with green, yellow and white colours and hexagonal shapes.

Send the details of your event to vprfeedback@mun.ca and we'll help promote your event.

Please check this page frequently for events being added.
