Research & Emerging Scholars

Opportunities for researchers and students

This year, we are delighted to announce opportunities for researchers and students to engage with the swine industry and to participate in the Ontario Swine Conference.   

A Research Poster Session will be featured during the duration of the conference where attendees can view the posters at scheduled breaks, lunches and prior to the industry gala.

Four emerging scholars who submitted abstracts to the poster session will be selected to participate in the Emerging Scholar Competition for a grand cash prize of $750.00. See below for more details on the Research Poster Session and Emerging Scholar Competition.

Research Poster Session

Researchers and students are invited to submit abstracts for poster display by the deadline of 12:00PM ET on Monday, January 13, 2025.
