ORONO — The University of Maine’s 11th annual Graduate Research Exposition is scheduled for Tuesday April 14 and Wednesday April 15 at UMaine’s Engineering Science & Research Building.

Designed to showcase and reward graduate academic excellence and creative achievement, the event features demonstrations of ongoing work involving UMaine graduate students.

Oral presentations will be given from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., while poster presentations will be ongoing from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days.

During the two-day event students compete for cash prizes of $100, $50, and $25 in six categories: biological and chemical sciences; engineering/spatial engineering; physical and mathematical sciences; social sciences and humanities; education; and visual and performing arts.

Commercialization Potential Awards also will be presented with cash prizes of up to $500 for the three winners. The award was developed last year by UMaine’s Foster Student Innovation Center and will be given to students whose projects show promise with regard to developing a commercial product or service. The Foster Student Innovation Center will also provide ongoing business development assistance to winners of the Commercialization Potential Award.

The expo is hosted by UMaine’s Graduate Student Government. For a schedule of events and directions to the Engineering Science & Research Building, visit www2.umaine.edu/gsg/gsgimages/0/08/Expo_agenda_2009.pdf.
