COBWEB Research Course
Are you looking for a research position, but don’t know where to start? Have you wanted to design your own research project and present at a research conference? Then join COBWEB!
At COBWEB, we aim to provide students looking for research experience the opportunity to work in teams to design and execute their own research projects over the span of 10 months. With the help of mentors, teams will be guided through the research process, eventually leading to a poster presentation at the annual COBWEB showcase.
We are looking for committed student researchers interested in the life sciences, computer sciences, physics, engineering, environmental sciences, social sciences, economics, business or any other research-oriented field who are eager to learn about and utilize the COBWEB software. It is not mandatory to have prior experience with the COBWEB software, though knowing how to use it will be an asset.
