Research on Tap provides an opportunity to talk about research and network with the public in a casual setting for an evening of informal discussion and dialogue. The next session will take place in Fall 2026, specific dates to be determined based on speaker and venue availability.

Each Research on Tap session is led by one or two Faculty Researchers from UPEI who present the central theme/topic in a way that is accessible, insightful and exciting to the lay audience. The rest of the time is for questions and discussion. The conversation is interesting, engaged, and lively.  

Are you and/or a colleague interested in leading one of these discussions?  If so, please provide a short abstract to Research Services researchservices@upei.ca describing your topic and emphasizing how it would be of interest now to the PEI public. Please also indicate a preferred day of the week for the session. 

The deadline for expressions of interest for Research on Tap is end of day Friday, September 4 2026.    

For questions, please contact Jo Minx, Research Services Liaison jminx@upei.ca, 902-566-0843
