Ottawa-Carleton Student Northern Research Symposium (OCSNRS)

The Ottawa-Carleton Student Northern Research Symposium (OCSNRS) was designed to give students from the university of Ottawa and from Carleton university the space to present their ideas and research in a low-stress and supportive conference setting. This event showcases the work of undergraduate and graduate students conducting research in the Arctic, Subarctic, or Antarctic. The conference aims to offer students the opportunity to present their research and ideas in a supportive and inclusive environment, and facilitate scholarly communication among students and faculty.
