The Research Communication Challenge is the 91Ƭ’s signature research-to-translation communication challenge for early- career researchers. As a featured component of the 91Ƭ International Conference 2026, RCC invites participants to present one key research insight within three minutes to a multidisciplinary audience. The challenge aims to strengthen research visibility, promote clear and engaging communication, and encourage researchers to think beyond academic findings towards wider relevance and impact.
A distinctive feature of RCC is the compulsory “+ Moment”, where presenters explain the possible pathway through which their research can move towards stakeholder uptake, practical application, policy relevance, industry use, community benefit, sustainability, innovation, inclusivity, or other forms of real-world value. Through this initiative, UCIC 2026 will recognise emerging research talent and promote a stronger university-wide culture of research communication, translation, and societal engagement.
Submission Deadline: June 25, 2026
