Every year the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry at U of T hosts prospective students from across Canada for Graduate Research Days (GRD). This event gives students who are interested in grad studies the chance to learn more about our department, as well as meet with faculty and current grad students. It is our most important graduate recruitment event. Although the event is virtual, we will be inviting select GRD participants for an expenses-paid visit to ChemE later in 2022.

 

The next GRD will take place on Feb 24-25, 2022, with an application deadline for our Department of January 21, 2022.
