ATTN Students: You have less than one month left to apply to present at the 2026 Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS)! The URS, set for Thursday, April 30, 2026, is the signature event of Undergraduate Research Week (April 26 - May 2, 2026) and brings together students, faculty, and staff from all disciplines at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It's also open to friends, families, and the public who are interested in learning about undergraduate research and its impact.
Throughout the day, hundreds of students will present their work in concurrent oral and poster presentations (including creative performances, exhibits, and demonstrations), the breadth and scope of which reflect not only the wide range of academic disciplines at the University of Illinois, but also speak to the caliber of our undergraduates.
All undergraduate students currently involved with research are eligible to present. For more information on the URS, including answers to frequently asked questions, please visit: http://undergradresearch.illinois.edu/symposium.html
The URS application deadline is March 13, 2026, at 11:59 pm.
