Research Day

Showcasing student and faculty research, creativity, and innovation and its impact on business, industry and the community
In this Section

Research Day is an annual celebration of the polytechnic applied learning and research, creativity, and innovation of students and faculty at UW-Stout. It is just one in a series of spectacular end-of-year events forming the Stout Showcase, events that celebrate and share the results of career-focused applied learning and collaboration from the past academic year.

The event, which is free and open to the public, offers a venue for students and faculty from all fields to share the results of their ground-breaking research, scholarly or artistic projects with the public and with their peers. Through posters, exhibits, demonstrations, oral presentations, and videos, students and faculty share what they've learned, created, and innovated with business, industry and community partners.
