About the Research Services Fair
The Research Services Fair (RSF) is a vendor-style fair that provides an opportunity for researchers to quickly learn about campus resources and services available for their research and scholarship activities. In 2024, over 65 campus units are registered to introduce their services to faculty, staff, and students. This year’s event will be hosted at the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU).
Fair Attendees Will:
- Learn about campus’s cutting-edge instruments and technology as well as many other services available in support of funding applications and research programs
- Interact with centers, institutes, core facilities, and other service units in a vendor-style fair
- Network with colleagues
Target Audience:
- Researchers of all levels (i.e., faculty, staff, post-docs, students)
- Research Support Staff
