Research-a-thons: An opportunity to collaborate and face real world challenges

Research-a-thons are organized events where individuals with a shared interest come together to collaboratively answer a research question or build a research resource.
This spring, over 50 UVic law students, librarians, and lawyers came together at the UVic Law Library to collaborate on a student-led research project in support of the Environmental Law Centre’s mining law reform project. The presenters will share their experience hosting research-a-thons and will discuss lessons learned and tips for hosting a research-a-thon of your own.
