Tomorrow’s Ideas, Now

The KIAS international undergraduate student conference, Tomorrow’s Ideas, Now,
will be a premier student conference for students working in the Social
Sciences, Humanities and Fine Arts. From August 17th to 20th, 2011,
undergraduate scholars and creative artists from around the world will
come together and participate with their peers from different
institutions and backgrounds. Working on the established KIAS research themes, students will explore their research questions through essays, creative performances, poster presentations, and much more.

Hosted by the University of Alberta, a globally recognized
research-intensive university, conference participants will get the
chance to explore the beautiful U of A campus while broadening their
research background and gaining valuable life experiences. By bringing
together the top undergraduate scholars and creative artists, Tomorrow’s Ideas, Now
will showcase the excellent work being done by undergraduates and
meaningfully enhance understanding of major contemporary issues.

Students must apply
for and be accepted to attend the conference; applications will be
judged based on the merit. Adjudication will be carried out by
University of Alberta’s professors, giving participants an academically refereed paper for their CV.

KIAS invites undergraduates working in areas of study related to the KIAS research themes to read through the eligibility guidelines and application process. We hope to see you there in August!
