Conference Schedule

The Human Movement Variability conference is an annual conference organized by the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability and Department of Biomechanics since its culmination in 2016. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers and clinicians to learn and share the latest in human movement variability research.

The Great Plains Biomechanics Conference is a new conference that will coincide with the Human Movement Variability conference in 2020. The goal of this conference is to provide a student-centered meeting where the growing field of biomechanics is explored through poster and podium sessions and a keynote speaker. The target demographic includes students, faculty, and clinicians from states such as Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

Promising Graduate Student Award

The Promising Graduate Student Award will acknowledge one student who has performed superior research in the field of Biomechanics or Human Movement Science in general. It entails a certificate as well as a monetary prize. Three finalists will be selected and given the opportunity to present their work for 15 minutes + 5 minutes of questions during the Promising Graduate Student podium session. The awardee will be announced during the awards ceremony. Non-awardee finalists will be eligible for the other awards.
