This annual series of events celebrates the University of Maine’s impact through innovation, creativity, workforce development, and industry partnerships. As Maine’s only R1 research university, the University of Maine is a powerhouse of scientific, economic, and creative advancements that shape the state’s future from Portland to Presque Isle.

With over 25 events, this week-long showcase demonstrates how UMaine’s research, students and faculty address critical challenges in education, healthcare, climate resilience and business. More than 1,000 students will present groundbreaking work at the UMaine Student Symposium this Friday, offering employers an exclusive look at the state’s brightest emerging talent. Business and policy leaders will find new collaboration opportunities through events like Imagine That!, a networking experience hosted by UMaine’s Portland Gateway in the heart of our state’s business hub.

From workforce pipelines in STEM and education to research breakthroughs in AI, healthcare, and sustainability, Maine Impact Week underscores UMaine’s commitment to delivering solutions that fuel economic growth and improve lives across Maine and beyond.

We hope you will join us!
