The Undergraduate Research Conference
Every year, our undergraduate student union, LMPSU, organizes a research conference.
Inviting speakers from across the University of Toronto, the students bring together a multi-disciplinary set of speakers to demonstrate the impact of their research on a given topic.
The conference takes place in January each year.
