Central American Research Symposium
The Central American Research Symposium's (CARS) goal is to increase international research collaborations between TTU faculty and graduate students and faculty researchers at Higher Education Institutions in Central America. The TTU CARS will provide a vehicle for TTU faculty to engage with international faculty from partnering Central American universities, discuss potential multidisciplinary research projects, and provide seed grants for selected TTU faculty. Additionally, the CARS will offer opportunities for TTU graduate students in selected USDA field-related programs to present ongoing related research through a poster session.
