The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) issues a call for abstracts for the 6th annual UVI Research Day to be held on Friday, April 7, 2017. We invite teaching faculty, research faculty, staff and students to submit abstracts of approximately 200 words or less for research papers and presentations. We welcome research projects from all areas and on all topics to demonstrate the research talent at UVI. The formats (posters, round-tables and demonstrations) are intended to encourage presentations and discussion of projects at different stages of development, as well as foster intellectual exchange and collaboration.
