The Academic, Creative and Engaged Research Showcase (ACERS) at Wilfrid Laurier University on the Brantford campus recognizes student research, showcases creative projects, and provides learning experiences for the general public and for the Laurier community.

The showcase provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to present their work to their peers and community – and potentially win some prizes for it! 

Student participants have a chance to win monetary prizes in each category - posters, podcasts and videos. Winners will be announced at the ACERS Awards Ceremony. 

Thank you to all of the ACERS 2026 participants!
