Mercer University’s Atlanta Research Conference began in 2011 as a “desire to encourage and inspire students and faculty to become more involved in research activities as well as provide a venue where they can share their findings.”

The fourteenth annual Atlanta & Regional Academic Centers Research Conference will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Administration and Conference Center building on Mercer’s Atlanta campus.

The conference will showcase work by students and faculty representing all colleges across Mercer’s Atlanta, Macon, Douglas County, and Henry County locations.
