Student Seminar Day
One of the primary AIMS@JCU events is the annual AIMS@JCU student seminar day. Each year, this is a successful and well attended event for students to show case the cutting edge research being conducted. Top oral and poster presentations are awarded funding to support science communication. The event is an important mechanism for students to share research findings with the broader AIMS and JCU scientific communities as well as compete for financial prizes!
The 2025 AIMS@JCU Seminar Day joined forces with the AIMS@JCU 20-Year Celebration for a two-day event of learning, connection, and celebration. Day 1, hosted at James Cook University, highlighted student seminars, 3MT speed talks, and posters, while Day 2 at the Australian Institute of Marine Science focused on cultural engagement. The quality of presentations and photographs was exceptional, reflecting the diverse and inspiring research of AIMS and JCU students.
