What We’re Looking For
We are currently soliciting event topic suggestions for our two signature event series: Research on Tap, which features highlights from current BU research, and Research How-to Workshops, which help members of BU’s research community to build their research toolkit. Learn more about each series and view examples of successful event topics below.
Research On Tap
Research on Tap events brings together groups of BU researchers around important, interdisciplinary topics. We assemble approximately 10-12 researchers to deliver four-minute micro-talks and hope to foster lively discussion with colleagues.
Examples of past events include:
- Accelerating the Energy Transition: Transformative Pathways to Decarbonization and Sustainability in the Next Decade
- Innovations in Brain Research
- Current Research on Autism
- Emerging Scholarship on Racism & Antiracism
- Wearables and Biosensors
Research How-To Workshops
In this event series, we offer programming to help the BU research community build their research toolkit: to find funding, conduct research, bring ideas to market, promote work, and more.
Examples of past events include:
- Op-ed Writing and Pitching Workshop
- NASA’s Strategy and Funding Priorities
- Ending Sexual Harassment in Academia
- How to Secure Funding from the Department of Defense
- The Innovator’s Journey: Embracing Creativity & Discomfort in Pursuit of Impact
