NU Knowledge at Noon

The NU Knowledge at Noon faculty presentation series has been created for Office for Research (OR) staff to help rediscover how our work supports research at Northwestern, and to provide a great opportunity to reconnect with other OR colleagues. This ongoing series began in 2014 and is organized and sponsored by Research Integrity.

Research Integrity sends announcements of upcoming events with registration information to all OR staff. Registration is free and open to OR staff only. Questions? Please contact us at researchintegrity@northwestern.edu
