About the Symposium
Polygence's Symposium of Rising Scholars is an annual virtual academic conference where Polygence students present and share their research with their peers and experts. The Symposium is free of charge and presentation spots are only available to Polygence students enrolled in our Core Program.
Our Fall 2025 Symposium featured approximately 150 student presenters from all over the world. To take a look at some of the highlights from previous events, check out the "Our Past Symposia" section below.
