Research Week 2020 virtual presentations schedule
The Research Week 2020 virtual presentations schedule was finalized for Friday, June 12. The presentations took place in various WebEx rooms throughout the day. See Research News for more information.
Abstract presentations are going virtual June 12
Abstracts submitted for Research Week 2020 will be presented virtually through WebEx on Friday, June 12. Due to the unusual circumstances, we will not distinguish between poster and oral presentations this year – all presentations will follow the same format. The presentations will be recorded, and there will be links provided for the OHSU community to view the presentations on WebEx after they are completed.
If you submitted an abstract and said you would like to participate in the virtual presentations, you will be hearing from Research Week administrators soon about your time slot and presentation room. Send any questions you have about this event to funding@ohsu.edu.
