The Image of Research 

The Image of Research is an annual interdisciplinary exhibit competition to showcase the breadth and diversity of research at UIC. Each year, students enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program at UIC are invited to submit an image with aesthetic appeal created by the student along with a brief précis of how the image relates to the student’s overall research. A multi-disciplinary jury reviews the submissions and awards prizes to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners and three honorable mentions.

An exhibit featuring the winners and the finalists is displayed in the lobby of the Daley Library every spring. The winning entries are also up in the Library of Health Sciences, and a selection of the images is featured on light pole banners around campus.

This year’s Image of Research exhibit will be on display April 16 – May 12, 2009.
