# Shining a spotlight on research

Did you know [Applied Research](https://www.senecapolytechnic.ca/innovation/research.html) hires student assistants?

Every year a number of students get the opportunity to do cutting-edge research on everything from artificial intelligence to life sciences with expert faculty and industry partners. Together, they work on projects that address real-world challenges.

If you want to see some of the work going on at Seneca, check out the virtual [Applied Research Project Showcase](https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigitalrepository.senecapolytechnic.ca%2Fs%2Fresearch%2Fpage%2Fwelcome&data=05%7C02%7Csharon.lindores%40senecapolytechnic.ca%7C415d74dd52544cd25e5408dcea2efa7b%7Ceb34f74a58e74a8b9e59433e4c412757%7C0%7C0%7C638642734707773538%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=zxLduV0AEGN0wgZqYHjJd%2B10io1RsgqqgFORaWqukH0%3D&reserved=0 "Original URL: https://digitalrepository.senecapolytechnic.ca/s/research/page/welcome.
