SPaRC Annual Retreat
The SPaRC Annual Retreat is a chance for research administrators from across campus to come together to connect, learn, and celebrate their important role in advancing the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s research mission. The day features guest speakers, plenary sessions on emerging initiatives and policy updates, and afternoon breakout sessions covering a range of sponsored project topics. Breakfast and lunch are included.
One of the signature elements of the Retreat is the Invited Academic Keynote, which highlights exceptional faculty research. To continue celebrating the world-class research at Illinois, we are now inviting faculty nominations for the 2026 keynote. If you would like to recommend a faculty member whose research merits this spotlight, please submit a nomination using the form linked here: https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/328347339. Nominations are due Friday, January 30, 2026.
Registration for the 2026 SPaRC Retreat will open in August. If you have questions please contact Kamil Tamimie (tamimie@illinois.edu).
