Research Week events kick off Monday

April 2, 2026

WVU will celebrate its renewed status as a top-tier R1-level research institution during the eighth annual Research Week, April 6-11.

Since 2019, the University has hosted Research Week each spring to spotlight and support student and faculty research and inform the community about WVU innovation and discovery.

Melanie Page, associate vice president for creative and scholarly activities at the Research Office, said, “Research Week is a way for us all to pause and celebrate the tremendous amount of work that goes into being an R1 university and to say ‘thank you’ to everyone who makes it possible.”

Among this year’s happenings will be discussions and presentations about science storytelling, literacy and playfulness, and AI and the law, along with exhibits of student work, a graduate student thesis competition and other events.
