The Society of Mongolian Researchers in the USA (SMRU) successfully brought together researchers, scientists, academics, students, and professionals for the 4th Scientific Conference of Mongolian Researchers in the USA, held October 17–18, 2026, in Sacramento, California. Hosted at the University of California, Davis, the conference provided a platform for sharing scientific discoveries, exchanging knowledge across disciplines, developing professional connections, and fostering collaboration within the Mongolian research and professional community.
As the first Scientific Conferences held on the West Coast, this year's gathering brought together 90 participants and marked an important milestone in the Society's continued growth and commitment to connecting Mongolian researchers and professionals across the United States and internationally. The conference featured 2 guest speakers, 10 oral presentations, 11 poster presentations covering a broad range of fields, including medicine, natural and social sciences, engineering, technology, economics, and education, highlighting the value of interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration. The program also included 4 professional development workshops on research and innovation in the AI era, U.S. hiring strategies and career development, the transition from graduate school to professional life, and career advancement in research, academia, and healthcare. Bringing together high school students, independent researchers, graduate students, and experienced faculty and scientists created valuable opportunities for mentorship, knowledge exchange, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
