Presented by The Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate & Professional Education

We cordially invite you to the Rutgers University Sponsored Research Showcase which will be held on October 15th at the Fiber Optics Materials Research Building on Rutgers Busch Campus in Piscataway.

Increasingly the federal and state governments are looking to universities not just to educate its citizens but also to create economic growth. A highly educated workforce and the discoveries from research are key components of economic and job growth in a knowledge-based economy. Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey received over $430 million in new grants to research in all fields of science and engineering. We invite you to spend the day at the Rutgers Research Showcase on Oct 15 learning about some of the exciting projects, their impacts on New Jersey and the world and meeting the faculty and student researchers.
