26th Annual West Point Projects Day Research Symposium

About Projects Day

West Point’s Projects Day Research Symposium will showcase more than 400 research projects by over 1,000 cadets across all thirteen of the Dean’s Academic Departments, the Department of Military Instruction, and the Department of Physical Education! 

We welcome and celebrate the over 80 external partners and West Point faculty who contributed to these cadet-led projects. 

A Research Evolution

West Point’s Projects Day Research Symposium has evolved to feature the results of cadet work across a variety of disciplines. Demonstrations include posters, presentations, static and dynamic displays, and question-and-answer sessions that take place across the Academy grounds.  

Working with Today's Leaders

Key leaders, researchers, and benefactors from across various academic institutions, industry, and government converge on the Academy to witness the outcomes of our cadets’ hard work.

Developing Leaders of Tomorrow

The work performed by our cadets on these projects is instrumental in helping them become leaders of character.  The work is also part of the intellectual capital generated by West Point - supporting some of the most pressing issues facing our Army and the Nation.
