ACIC invites students and recent graduates to be part of our Student Research Showcase, taking place during the From Aid to Action: Symposium 2025. This is a unique opportunity to present your research to a diverse audience of international cooperation practitioners, academics, students, community members, and global solidarity leaders from across Atlantic Canada and beyond.

The Student Research Showcase will feature poster presentations that speak to the Symposium’s central theme: From Aid to Action, a call to critically reimagine the structures and legacies of international cooperation, while advancing alternatives rooted in justice, equity, and solidarity. We welcome research that explores global justice, international development, decolonial practice, climate and ecological justice, Indigenous sovereignty, feminist movements, migration and displacement, solidarity economies, and other areas connected to systemic change.

Selected participants will present their research as part of the Symposium’s networking sessions on June 18 and 19. This format offers a chance to share your work in an informal, conversation-driven setting with peers and sector professionals.

Support for Presenters

To ensure meaningful participation, ACIC will provide the following supports to all selected poster presenters:

• Full registration for the two-day Symposium, including access to all sessions and workshops

• A complimentary ticket to the evening Gala celebration on June 19

• Travel and accommodation support for those coming from outside the Halifax area or from other provinces

  
  

This opportunity is open to current students and graduates from undergraduate and graduate programs.

To express your interest, please complete the application form by Sunday, May 4, 2025. We look forward to learning more about your research and how it contributes to shaping a more just and sustainable world.
