What is the impact of your research? How could it solve problems, help others, and make things better? One of the key components of any research project is being able to demonstrate how it impacts and benefits society. The Research Week Impact Competition provides an opportunity for all UCF graduate and undergraduate students to showcase the impacts and benefits of their research through a 5-minute oral presentation.
