The 11th Annual UW–Madison Postdoctoral Research Symposium will be held on Friday, September 25, in the Discovery Building. Organized in honor of National Postdoc Appreciation Week, the symposium offers a venue for UW–Madison postdocs to share their work with others, foster new collaborations and make social connections.

In addition to professional development sessions and networking opportunities, the symposium includes a Blitz Talk Competition and a Poster Competition to showcase postdoc research in all disciplines. This is an excellent opportunity to share work and hone research communication skills. Competition winners will receive substantive travel awards.
