About ARIA
The Applied Research in Action (ARIA) showcase is where industry and academia conceptualize new ideas in technology and bring those ideas to life. At this year's virtual ARIA, you will be able to see the impactful innovations that MScAC students are fuelling as they work together with industry, to complete their internships. You will also be able to meet with some of our industry partners in our industry zone, and the Department of Computer Science’s research students, who will be showing off their original research that pushes the field forward, as they explore the innovations of tomorrow.
Why attend?
ARIA is a great networking opportunity for anyone interested in the latest technological innovations. It is also a chance for companies to recruit brilliant minds, for undergrad students to connect with students, faculty members, and graduate program alumni about graduate school options after finishing their Bachelor's degree. Most importantly, ARIA is about networking with other generations of MScAC alumni and celebrating the success of the program together. Take a look here to learn more about who should attend ARIA and some of the reasons why they do so.
