39th Annual SCI Summer Research Colloquium
Wednesday, July 30th, 2025
Duncan Hall, Martel Hall | Rice University
Registration is now open!
To register, see below.
The Smalley-Curl Institute Summer Research Colloquium began in 1986 as the RQI Colloquium and has been held in August of each year. The purpose of the SCI Summer Research Colloquium is to provide undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers working at Rice with an opportunity to present their most recent work.
Presentations (either talks or posters) are formal, as in professional international conferences. However, the audience, consisting of Rice students and faculty members, as well as R&D representatives from local companies, is informal and friendly, which makes the Colloquium a great occasion for presenters to hone their communication skills.
(Note: Postdocs and graduate students can also register as judges for the undergraduate poster session.)
