28th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium

Discovering New Paths | Friday, May 21, 2021

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) hosts the UCI Undergraduate Research Symposium, an annual event held in May that offers hundreds of undergraduates the opportunity to present the results of their research or creative activities in a professional setting. This year’s theme, Discovering New Paths, represents the resilience of UCI undergraduates in their pursuit of research and discovery. The Symposium includes poster, oral, and performing/visual arts presentations from students and guest speakers; speed-networking sessions; and an awards ceremony.

This free event draws hundreds of attendees, including undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, family, friends, and other members of the community. We hope you will join us in celebrating the great accomplishments of our talented student researchers!

Registration Open!

The 28th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held Friday, May 21, 2021, from 9:00 am-4:30 pm. Registration to attend this free event.
