Present Your Research

An important aspect of undergraduate research is that it is designed to produce a product worth communicating to others. You may find opportunities to present your research or creative performance at national and international professional conferences in the field of your research, department-based symposia, OUR-sponsored conferences and symposia at UNC and beyond the campus:

Campus Symposia

• Celebration of Undergraduate Research
• University Research Week
• Departmental and course symposia

Beyond the Campus

The Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR) offers travel awards of up to $500 to UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate students to defray the cost of travel to present results of their research or creative performance at a professional conference in their field. The travel awards are made possible by a generous gift from the McGee Family Undergraduate Research Fund. Travel Awards funds may be used for registration and travel expenses, but not hotel or food expenses.

Below are other local opportunities for sharing your research.

• Atlantic Coast Conference Undergraduate Research Symposium
• State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium
