Research Weeks 2026

VCU Research Weeks celebrates the powerhouse research community at Virginia Commonwealth University. 

Throughout the month of April, VCU showcases the groundbreaking work of our researchers and celebrates the breadth of VCU’s research enterprise through a series of events hosted by schools and departments across all three of the university’s campuses: Monroe Park campus, MCV health science campus and the VCUArts Qatar campus. 

This year, we’re thrilled to welcome distinguished speakers from across the nation, who will share their expertise and insights on a range of research topics, guaranteeing there’s a session of interest for everyone. VCU Research Weeks is a testament to the university’s commitment to advancing knowledge and innovation in all disciplines, and we invite you to be a part of this exciting celebration. 

Join us as we explore cutting-edge discoveries, foster collaboration and highlight the impact our research has on our community and nation. Explore and register for the 2026 Research Weeks events here:
