Speed Networking Events for Researchers
Need new collaborators? Too busy for traditional networking? Join us for a Speed Networking Event to identify potential collaborators.
Try Speed Networking!
Practice your 3-minute “elevator speech” as you participate in a fast-paced, fun event meant to expose you to research and inspire you to establish new, productive relationships. Researchers will share their topics in an accelerated fashion.
Space is limited. Some preparation required—an inquiring mind and willingness to talk to others are a must!
Date and Time
September 2023 for SIU cooperative Ph.D. program faculty

Instructions for Participants
- Complete the participant template that you will attach in Step 2. A sample template can be found here.
- Register.
- Create a 3-minute ‘elevator speech’ about your research and needs for collaboration.
Speed Networking Format
Each registered attendee will have exactly 3 minutes to present information about his/her research. The presentation may address ongoing and/or planned projects. Highlight projects that require collaboration across disciplines. Remember that your audience may not be familiar with your field, so a brief explanation of the context of your research is recommended. NO POWERPOINTS ARE ALLOWED. A timer will be used to time each presentation, and each presenter will be stopped at the end of 3 minutes, even if in the middle of a sentence.
