Undergraduate Research Exhibition

EFSC's Undergraduate Research Exhibition (URE) provides students from all majors, all academic disciplines, and all campuses an opportunity to showcase original research, scholarly projects, and creative works to the collegewide EFSC community during an on-campus event held each Fall and Spring Term, with the next event scheduled for Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

A magnifying glass that says "Research" next to the words, “Undergraduate Research Exhibition.”Who Can Submit Research?

All EFSC students who have worked on research projects or creative works in the past academic year are eligible to participate.

Why Should I Participate?

You can use this experience to share your research, build your professional portfolio, and enhance your presentation skills. In addition to presenting your research in person at the event, your abstract/artistic statement and poster will be included in the OUR's online Book of Abstracts (our online archive for exhibition abstracts and posters) for you to share with friends, family, schools you apply to, and future employers. View the Fall 2024 Book of Abstracts for project examples.

What Types of Research are Accepted?

You're welcome to submit original research, scholarly projects, and/or creative works from any discipline. We accept research at any stage, from initial ideas to partially or fully completed projects. View examples of past research.
