Annual Research Colloquia

IBRA is committed to supporting the Annual Resarch Colloquium, presented in joint collaboration with the NIH OxCam Program and our academic partners at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The Colloquium is the highlight of the program year that celebrates the Scholars’ academic successes and provides important social and intellectual interactions among both scholars and mentors. Scholars also have an opportunity to present their research findings, helping them to develop critical presentation skills that will benefit their future careers.

In addition to attending the scientific discussions, each year IBRA board members, invited guests, and representatives from Platinum level sponsors are also given the opportunity to attend tours and themed experiences hosted by the university.

The series is a collaboration with the International Biomedical Research Alliance, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program. Browse through upcoming and past events below.
