Faculty are encouraged to attend ISU Faculty Research Day and celebrate our outstanding research accomplishments, exchange ideas, discover connections, and help create the future of Iowa State’s interdisciplinary grand challenge research areas. We invite scholars from all disciplines to present a poster, deliver a talk, display an exhibit, and meet new colleagues, as you showcase your achievements and explore new opportunities that embody Iowa State’s far reaching research portfolio. Part of the program will focus on Iowa State’s grand challenge research themes and their connections to all disciplines at Iowa State.
