Celebrate the UNlimited impact of VCU’s research

Discovering and sharing knowledge is at the heart of our research mission. At VCU and around the globe, research and creative expression illuminate society’s greatest challenges and provide insights and solutions to problems. VCU Research Weeks celebrates our impact and builds upon our culture of collaborative, transdisciplinary research.

This April, we're celebrating the UNlimited impact of VCU’s research and innovation. At VCU, research is for everyone. Students, faculty, staff and trainees work together to address society's grand challenges. Our solutions are designed not only in laboratories, but in studios, classrooms, offices, the great outdoors and beyond.

Join us for VCU Research Weeks as we celebrate our groundbreaking discoveries and continued quest to lift lives and improve the human condition.
