The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) is pleased to invite you to the 2026 Researcher Forum and Expo.

Building on the annual Researcher Forum and last year’s Researcher Services and Equipment Expo, this combined event will provide faculty with valuable access to university resources while fostering meaningful connections across the research community.

The Forum and Expo is designed to highlight the tools, services, and collaborations that advance research excellence across WashU. Core research facilities across both campuses will showcase their expertise, equipment, and the impactful projects they support. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore information tables hosted by core facilities and participate in breakout sessions featuring presentations that demonstrate how researchers can leverage these resources to drive their work forward.
