Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference now accepting research talk and poster abstract submissions

Undergraduate students have until March 11 to apply to present a research talk (oral presentation) or poster on their research or creative endeavors during the 2021 Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference.

The spring Undergraduate Research Conference will be a weeklong virtual event showcasing undergraduate research with recorded student researchers delivering presentations April 12-19. Undergraduate researchers and scholars from all disciplines are encouraged to participate in this formally judged event. Prizes will be awarded from each of the sponsoring academic units.

Faculty, staff and graduate students who are interested in judging the posters and research talks can register on the conference’s judging information link. Training will be available for those who would like to attend.

The process of disseminating research results, gaining valuable feedback from peers and professors, and networking with other participants is a vital step in the learning process of engaging in a research experience.

The Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference is organized by the Office of Undergraduate Research with representatives from colleges and units on the planning committee. The OUR website also features this semester's seminar series, a listing of available undergraduate research opportunities, resources for getting started in undergraduate research, and a method to subscribe to the undergraduate research newsletter.
