Upcoming Research Events
Red Deer Polytechnic hosts a number of events throughout the year celebrating the research, scholarly activity, and scholarship that takes place on our campus.
Annual Research Showcase
The Research Showcase is an annual event of engaging presentations featuring the latest in faculty, staff and student research and scholarly activities (both in progress and recently completed).
Our accomplished faculty, staff and aspiring student researchers showcase their projects in an evening transcending academia, offering diverse and meaningful insights across various disciplines that impact our community and society.
Thanks to everyone who made this year's annual Research Showcase a success! 2024's Research Showcase featured 53 engaging presentations across various disciplines.
Agora Undergraduate Conference
The annual Agora Undergraduate Conference showcases student work completed in Humanities and Social Sciences, Social Work and Justice Studies classes, bringing together Red Deer Polytechnic's diverse community in celebration of student excellence. Students will share the results of their coursework with a public audience. In 2024, we marked the 20th student conference with more than 50 student presenters and 15 installations from our Visual Arts students.
Agora Journal
The Agora Journal, inaugurated over a decade ago by Heather Marcovitch, PhD (English), publishes outstanding work presented at the Agora Conference.
Through the journal and under faculty supervision, student editors receive applied instruction and experience in fact-checking, copyediting and building professional relationships with authors.
