Innovative ideas with social or commercial impact could win you $1000

Do you have a solution to a tangible social or technical problem? Or a great concept that’s better, faster, or cheaper than what’s currently utilized by the public or featured in the marketplace? There’s $3000 in cash on the table for this year’s Innovation Showcase Poster Competition, awarding $1000 each in the categories of Commercialization Impact and Social Impact, plus a People’s Choice category.

If you’re a Mac researcher, student, faculty or staff member, you can demonstrate how your ideas will make a difference by submitting your poster abstract by Wednesday November 2^nd.    You can find more information, poster guidelines and logistics on the Poster Competition Entry Form and if you want to see – and be inspired by— the abstracts that won the last Poster Competition, you can find those here.

 Innovation Showcase 2016 takes place on Wednesday November 10 from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm at the McMaster Innovation Park Atrium, First Floor. This year’s Showcase is focused on encouraging students, post-docs and new faculty to pursue entrepreneurship and commercialization. Take a look at this year’s agenda – you’re going to want to register yourself for this free event on Eventbrite.
