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. 

Thanks to everyone who made ACERS 2025 a great success!

Please consider applying to ACERS 2026 

(nominations close Jan 12 2026) 

ACERS is made possible by a generous donation from the Race Family, along with support from Laurier's Sustainability Office.
