Globalization Conference
#UConnECEglobalization
Globalization is the increased interaction of people, governments, and countries through international trade, business, foreign aid, research, and politics. Annually, UConn ECE hosts a one day conference inviting teams of UConn ECE Students to present a critical review of the year's chosen topic and offer concrete solutions to the issue that are both politically and economically viable. This conference is intended to be interdisciplinary, and all UConn ECE classes are encouraged to participate.
Applications open mid-January with a deadline in late January. If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Dunn with a requested country, topic, and research question.
