Research Day is an avenue for those involved in research to educate, learn, and network with each other and to showcase the value and impact research has at Bruyère and beyond.

Submission Guidelines 

Research Snapshots | SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

Can you share your research and its impact in 3 minutes or less? Take the mic and captivate your audience!


Sharing the excitement and relevance of your work with a public audience is an important skill to have. The ability to captivate any audience can help you show your impact throughout your field of expertise and beyond.


How does it work?
A maximum of 20 finalists will be selected by the planning committee based on video submission pitches. Selected finalists will be given a 3-minute presentation slot to present live at Research Day.


Who can register?
Any student (undergraduate, graduate), postdoctoral fellows, trainee, research staff, or investigator.


How do you apply?

  • Submit a 1-minute video pitch. This will help the planning committee get a sense your research and how you are able to engage a lay audience.
  • Upload your video to Microsoft OneDrive and complete the submission form by October 1, 2023.

Pitches will be judged based on their delivery – your ability to share the results and impact of research – NOT on their scientific content or methodology. The committee will be looking for how well you are able to convey the following content in a clear and engaging way.


What should your video include?

  • Your name
  • What area of research your project is focused on
  • What challenge/problem are you trying to understand/address?
  • What is the significance/impact of your research on patients, residents, caregivers, health care professionals and the health system, or the community?
  • This is your chance to be engaging and creative – avoid using scientific/technical terms and jargon.

 

Selected finalists will be notified of their success by mid-October and will be granted a 3-minute live slot to be presented on Research Day. The order of selected pitches will be provided before the event date.
