Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference accepting research talk and poster abstract submissions

Undergraduate students have until March 1 to submit their abstracts to present a research talk (oral presentation) and have until March 14 to apply to present a poster on their research or creative endeavors during the 2022 Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference.

The spring Undergraduate Research Conference is being planned as a hybrid event showcasing undergraduate research with students delivering presentations from April 11-18. 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.

The in-person poster symposium will be April 12 with one session in the morning and one in the afternoon in the Purdue Memorial Union's Ballrooms. Final times will be announced closer to the event based on how many submissions are received.

In-person research talks will be April 14 in Stewart Center, Room 214, with times determined based on the number of selected presenters.

Throughout the event, the virtual conference will host recorded poster and research talk presentations on April 11-18 on the conference website.

Faculty, staff and graduate students who are interested in judging the posters and research talks during the in-person or virtual events 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 undergraduate research 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.
