ECU Research and Creative Achievement Week provides all students with an excellent opportunity to share their research and creative activity, practice their presentation skills, and meet other creative scholars at ECU with similar interests.

UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE students, and POSTDOCTORAL scholars*  are invited to present their research to fellow students, colleagues, faculty, and the local community in a professional, conference-style setting.  We define research as an original systematic investigation and/or original creative activity designed to develop or contribute to knowledge or culture.

*Postdoctoral scholars must be current East Carolina University students or postdoctoral scholars to submit an abstract.

Students and Postdoctoral Scholars may present their research in any one of the following categories:

  • Biomedical Sciences
  • Business
  • Community Engagement
  • Education
  • Engineering
  • Fine & Performing Arts
  • Human Health
  • Humanities
  • Natural Sciences
  • Social Sciences
  • Interdisciplinary Innovations
  • Technology and Computer Science
  • Visual Art & Design
