Virtual Undergraduate Research Conference (VURC) 2025: Opening the Doors to Research
The Virtual Undergraduate Research Conference (VURC) is an annual conference highlighting undergraduate research. The conference is entirely virtual. Undergraduate students around the world and faculty whose work involves undergraduates are encouraged to participate. The conference is a friendly environment meant to provide opportunities to showcase student work, model presentation skills, and create a fun, collegial environment to discuss big ideas.
The 4th annual VURC took place on April 18th, 2025. The conference schedule with names and title of presenters is displayed. Posters can be be found virtually on BlueSky with #CIWRVURC2025.
