The 2026 COEIT research day was held on May 1st 2026 from 8:30am to 4:00pm. Read more about the 2025 event on the UMBC News website.

The goal of Research Day is to cross pollinate ideas across departments in COEIT and across external collaborators with a follow-up seed funding activity to spark interdisciplinary projects.

The first half of the day consisted of spotlight talks in thematic parallel sessions from across COEIT departments and the second half of the day was comprised of a college wide poster day.

We welcomed colleagues, collaborators, and industry partners to share the exciting research happening in COEIT and create pathways for future interdisciplinary projects.
