Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is an interdisciplinary conference where
students representing universities and colleges from all around the
U.S., and internationally, will present their
research and creative works in oral, poster and performance/visual arts
presentations.
The mission of the
National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is to promote
undergraduate research scholarship and creative activity done in
partnership with faculty or other mentors as a vital component
of higher education.
