InterPacific Forum

Washington State University share their presentation with students (screen) in New Zealand.

Students sharing their individual or small group research projects in a forum with other students (middle and high school, undergraduate and graduate university) and professions has been the strength and uniqueness of the InterPacific Forum. The InterPacific Forum ran from 2006 to 2013 with typically two Forums per year. At some time students from the following institutions shared their research projects via a live video connection:

Washington State University -- Rosmini College -- Whitworth College -- Pinehurst School -- Eastern Washington University -- Massey University (Auckland) -- Eastern Oregon University --The University of Auckland --Akron University -- University of Vermont, Raffles Institution (Singapore).

2020 will see InterPacific Forum return

The Forum?Symposium had its origins that stretch back to 1989 when the Bruya-Wood Undergraduate Student Research Conference began.

https://education.wsu.edu/events/bruyawood/what-is-bruya-wood/ The Washington State University Conference is held twice a year, and has now been running for over 30 years.

The Conference was replicated in New Zealand, 2006 to 2013, and later in Singapore 2013, where it continues to grow. Thousands of students have presented their projects and had them critiqued by their peers and professionals.
