The Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga is excited to invite you to join us for the annual gathering of undergraduate chemistry, biochemistry and related area students in Ontario (and neighbouring provinces/areas). This event will showcase the research conducted by our province's undergraduate researchers, but also provide an opportunity for these students to discuss their research while networking and forming new collaborations among attendees.

Join us for a day of insightful talks, poster presentations, and opportunities to connect with other students. We can't wait to see you there!
