Symbiosis is an annual undergraduate research networking event held by the MSS wherein students in the faculty of science are able to meet upper year researchers to listen to their stories and gain insight on how to get involved in research at McMaster.

It helps provide students with practical, personal advice and makes the process of getting involved in undergraduate research less daunting.

The MSS hopes to inspire more students within the faculty of science to pursue undergraduate research during their time at McMaster.

Symbiosis provides an excellent platform for you to start your journey to research!
