In it's third year now, Rising Stars of Research has become the most 
prestigious cross-disciplinary undergraduate research conference in 
Canada. The University of British Columbia is pleased to host Rising 
Stars of Research 2010 from August 18-21, 2010.

Rising Stars of Research (RSR) is an exciting and unique event which 
brings top undergraduate researchers from across Canada to BC to 
showcase their research accomplishments and explore their passion for 
innovation. All RSR events take place on the spectacular University of 
British Columbia campus. The centrepiece of "RSR" is a research poster 
competition and includes workshops, talks from outstanding faculty 
researchers, facility tours, and of course, a great time in beautiful 
British Columbia.

Students must apply and be chosen to attend RSR. Participation is 
limited to 120 students from Canada (regional limits apply), with 
special guests from approved international partner universities (list to 
be posted soon). The RSR registration fee is $100 which covers on-campus 
accommodation (three nights), food and other event costs. Every selected 
participant will also be eligible to receive travel support of up to 
$500 (fixed rates depending on residence by province).

The RSR online application will open on May 10th 2010. Application 
deadline is Monday, June 14th, at 4pm PDT.

We kindly request your help in promoting this opportunity to interested 
students and colleagues in sciences, engineering and social sciences. 
Please forward and post to websites. Application opens May 10th. Thank you!
