Description
The University of Toronto Engineering Research Conference (UTERC) is returning this summer for its 6th annual edition! UTERC provides students, researchers, and industry professionals with a unique opportunity to engage with the work of our graduate students. This year’s theme is 'Erasing Boundaries.'
The theme Erasing Boundaries is to encourage the showcase of how your research work moves towards erasing the boundaries that prevent society from interacting, benefiting, or understanding your work. Show us how your research erases the boundaries built around it at UTERC 2026.
This is a one-day conference where graduate students deliver either podium or poster presentations. We especially welcome presentations from MEng students on their course or internship projects!
As a leading research faculty, the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is pushing the limits and pioneering initiatives in the field of engineering. UTERC embodies this spirit by providing a platform for students to showcase their research, share bold ideas, and contribute to shaping the future of engineering and technology.
