EDGE: A global undergraduate STEM Conference

EDGE is a global non-profit undergraduate conference, which welcomes submissions of student research from all areas of STEM. The overarching aim of this conference is to give students a platform where they are able to showcase their original research in different STEM fields, encourage dialogue, and thereby promote the practice of STEM research more generally. Furthermore, by inviting established researchers in different fields as keynote speakers, we look to provide an opportunity for students to learn about the value and inner workings of academia, and grow their academic network.

Registration is free and special awards await the best paper, best presentation, and best researcher at the conference.
