Join us at MIT’s annual Mechanical Engineering Research Exhibition (MERE) gives graduate students, post-docs, and UROPs an opportunity to share their exciting mechanical engineering research projects with the wider MIT community! (Register to present at MERE here)
This year MERE will consist of an in-person poster session where we invite participants to present their research to the greater MIT MechE community. We are excited to announce that MERE will take place on March 5th at MIT Campus (MIT Buildings 1, 3, & 5)
As in past years, there will be good conversations, interesting research, awards for the best presentations. Attendees get to vote their favorite posters and the winners in each category will be awarded. We will also have industry representatives (mostly MIT alums) eager to see what’s going on at MIT. Please don’t hesitate to contact our team with any questions at mere@mit.edu!
More info is coming soon! We’re working to update this site, but for now please keep an eye on your email!
