Why Attend the UWI Research Expo 2013

 

Prof. Clement Sankat

Pro Vice Chancellor and Principal

The UWI St. Augustine Campus

"It’s an amazing opportunity for The University to showcase the pure and applied research being done at the Campus and the many ways in which this work is making a difference in our society. In turn, we look forward to the Research Expo acting as a catalyst for many more partnerships and initiatives.  It promises to be an exciting week of activities and an excellent opportunity for our staff, students, corporate partners, as well as for families to explore all that we have to offer at UWI."                               

 

Ms Cassandra Patrovani-Sylvester

Vice President, Human and Corporate Relations

National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited

“It’s exciting to think that many of the young minds that will benefit from this project will move on to create, innovate, and maybe even change the face of the country in ways we can’t yet imagine, using technology that hasn’t yet been invented.”

 

 

Ms Catherine Kumar

Chief Executive Officer
Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce

“The Research Expo is an initiative that the Chamber fully endorses as it will help to put a spotlight on the central role played by research in private sector development and entrepreneurship and in building the competitiveness for our country.”

 

Alexander Johnson

President
UWI Guild of Students

“It’s another opportunity to engage with what you learn and connect it with the real world.”

UWI Faculty of Humanities & Education

“As a student who has been with the University for some time, it would be good to learn about other opportunities,  to go outside of the Faculty and see what is taking place in the various departments.  It’s important for us to know about the research opportunities taking place on Campus and I know that this Research Expo  will peak the interest of a lot of our students.”

Undergraduate Student
Faculty of Social Sciences

"I’m a first year UWI student, a QRC and Open Campus grad, and I really enjoy playing sports, especially football, so I’m looking forward to the sports activities and meeting some of the iconic sportsmen at the UWI Fun Park and Market Place on Saturday.  I would also be interested in attending the workshop on Criminal Behaviour being hosted by the Faculty of Social Sciences."
