    • Abstract
    Background: University communities are typically large and diverse, requiring intentional strategies to foster communication, collaboration, mentorship, and primary healthcare interventions for impactful health outcomes. This paper underscores the potential benefits of organizing and participating in a Research Fair and Exhibition within the academic environment.

    Methods: The Faculty of Clinical Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Calabar, was invited by the Directorate of Research and Development to participate in the 2024 University Convocation Research Fair and Exhibition. A five-member committee was constituted with clearly defined terms of reference. A survey was conducted for participants to the faculty exhibition stand to gather and analyze data regarding the planning, participation, and outcomes of the fair.

    Results: Consistent meetings with the Directorate facilitated clearer understanding and improved interaction, fostering synergy and enhancing familiarity with the Directorate’s operations. Collaborative efforts emerged across clinical specialties, notably Family and Community Medicine, as well as interfaculty partnerships, including with the Faculty of Agriculture. A two-way mentorship structure was observed between the senior members of the Faculty who were consultants and their mentees (resident doctors). A total of 76 individuals visited the Faculty’s exhibition booth, 84% rated the presentation and services as ‘good,’ and 78% reported increased interest in Medicine and Surgery. Primary care was actively promoted through disease screening, health education, and wellness activities.

    Conclusion: The Convocation Research Fair and Exhibition served as an innovative and informal platform for strengthening communication, collaboration, linkages, mentorship, and the promotion of SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) within the university community. The participation by the Faculty of Clinical Sciences was evaluated as a successful and promising model.

    Key words: Research Fair & Exhibition, University, Collaborations, Health, SDG 3
