More than 100 University of Western Ontario faculty members and graduate students will present cutting-edge research advances at the WORLDiscoveries Research Showcase on Friday, Jan. 30 at the London Convention Centre.
The event, held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is hosted by the faculties of Engineering and Science and the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. It is an opportunity for university researchers to network and develop partnerships with industry leaders.

Last year’s showcase was attended by more than 300 industry representatives.
An official welcome and remarks will begin at 11:15 a.m. and a networking luncheon will follow.
