2026 CIRES IRP poster session and reception
Open to Public
The Innovative Research Program (IRP) supports pilot or exploratory studies to advance novel, unconventional, or fundamental research that might otherwise be difficult to fund. CIRES-wide competitions are conducted each year to foster an innovative research environment where risk-taking is allowed and even encouraged.
The IRP poster session is a yearly community event designed to highlight IRP projects and facilitate connections between disciplines and research colleagues. This year's reception will feature the research results of several 2024 IRP winners. Due to the lack of IRP awards in the 2025 cycle, the event will also feature projects from the Visiting Fellows Program.
The event will include light refreshments and beverages.
