Tri-University Research Administration Conference (TURAC) Announcement & Request for Presenters
Dear Research Administration Colleagues,
We’re excited to invite you to share your ideas by submitting session proposals for the 2025 Tri-University Research Administration Conference (TURAC), happening October 1-3, 2025!
You can find all the details and application instructions at the link below:
👉 2025 TURAC Call for Proposals: Form – Call for Proposal Application
We especially encourage those who haven’t presented at previous TURACs to join us! If you’re unsure where to begin, or if you’d like help finding a co-presenter, just reach out—we’re here to help!
If your topic doesn’t quite fit into the other tracks, consider submitting under the “New Horizons for Research Administration” track.
We welcome all proposals that are relevant to research administration, both in Arizona and nationally.
Stay tuned for information about an upcoming Q&A session. During this session, you can join us virtually to ask questions about support for new presenters, expectations for attendee interactions, topic ideas, and more. More details will be shared soon.
A few things to keep in mind:
- It is encouraged that each session include at least one lead presenter and one co-presenter.
- We love cross-site collaboration and think interactive sessions are the way to go.
- All sessions will be hosted in a virtual platform for everyone’s convenience.
- Remember, proposals are due by Friday, July 25, 2025
We truly appreciate your contributions and can’t wait to see your session proposals!
Following submission, the planning committee will review your submission and contact you directly for more information and to confirm your participation.
Warm regards,
TURAC 2025 Chairs & Program Committee
