Rice research at breakneck speed

The fast-paced lightning talk competition for graduate research is back! SCREECH is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7th, 2017. It will take place in McMurtry Auditorium of Duncan Hall.

SCREECH is an opportunity for graduate students to deliver a 90-second snapshot of their research. Competing participants will highlight the objectives and impact of the diverse graduate research projects being done in Rice University’s School of Engineering. The event aims to connect cutting-edge research with a diverse audience to showcase the unconventional wisdom that exemplifies Rice.

A panel of judges composed by members of academia and industry will select the winners. Additionally, attendees can cast their vote for a ‘fan favorite’ award. University-level and department-level winners will receive hundreds of dollars in prize money.

If you are an engineering graduate student interested in participating in this event, applications to enter the SCREECH competition are now open! You may apply using this form.

If you are interested in supporting this event, please consider becoming a sponsor or volunteering as a SCREECH judge.
We are currently open to both personal and corporate sponsorship.
