SCREECH
Graduate Research Pitch Competition
Rice research at breakneck speed
SCREECH (n.) – A loud piercing call, as given by an owl.
SCREECH is an opportunity for graduate students to deliver a 90-second snapshot of their research. Competing participants will highlight the objectives and impact of the diverse graduate research projects being done in Rice University’s School of Engineering. The event aims to connect cutting-edge research with a diverse audience to showcase the unconventional wisdom that exemplifies Rice.
A panel of judges composed by members of academia and industry will select the winners. Additionally, attendees can cast their vote for a ‘fan favorite’ award. University-level and department-level winners will receive hundreds of dollars in prize money.
