Princeton Research Day celebrates the research and creative endeavors of the campus-wide community. The event serves as an opportunity for researchers and creators to reach across disciplines by communicating in non-specialist language about their research or creative work.

Now in its ninth consecutive year, the event highlights work from across all areas of study at Princeton, including the natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, the arts and humanities. Presenters include undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and other early-career researchers.

Participants will create 3-minute video presentations describing their research projects, performances, artistic works or other creative expressions. All videos will be posted online where they will be accessible to the public.In addition, presenters may opt to discuss their work in-person at the PRD Showcase, followed by the PRD Reception.

Videos and in-person presentations are eligible for awards and cash prizes, presented at the PRD Awards Celebration. The winners will be selected by PRD judges and the viewing public.

All are welcome to visit the Showcase, Reception, and Awards Celebration. The Awards Celebration will also be livestreamed.

Princeton Research Day is a collaborative initiative between the offices of the Dean of the College, the Dean of the Graduate School, the Dean for Research and the Vice President for Campus Life, with support from the Dean of the Faculty and Office of the Provost.
