Video Competition
Each year a video competition is held to showcase MRSEC-related research in a short video. Any Brandeis-affiliated undergraduate, graduate student, post-doc, staff or faculty member is eligible to enter and make a video about Brandeis-MRSEC research.
Are you really excited about sharing your research, have a creative way to communicate your science, or just like winning prizes? Submit your 90-second videos that showcase MRSEC-related research and possibly win a prize! The 2024 MRSEC video competition is now closed. Check back in Summer 2025 for 2025 competition details.Any Brandeis-affiliated undergraduate, graduate student, post-doc, staff, or faculty person is eligible to enter and make a video about Brandeis-MRSEC research. You do not need to be a MRSEC member to win. Submissions will be accepted until Thursday, July 25, 2024, and the top videographers will receive exciting prizes. Now is your chance to use your best videography skills to share exciting MRSEC-related findings with the world!
