The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of student scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all disciplines. Overall, this conference offers a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement; provides models of exemplary research, scholarship, and creative activity; and offers student career readiness development. 

Why Participate?

We encourage student researchers to participate in NCUR to forge new connections, advocate for undergraduate research, build students' professional profiles, expand on their resumes, hone in on their essential career skills, and much more. We encourage faculty, mentors, and the undergraduate research community to participate in NCUR to continue to advocate and celebrate the community as well as expand upon their professional development from various mentoring sessions.

Ashish Srivastava

2023 NCUR Student Presenter

Attending NCUR lit a new flame under my passion and drive for research! NCUR showed me that my research isn't isolated and that people care about the work that I do. Meeting people from all walks of life, doing all sorts of work was extremely eye opening, and my field of view has been permanently expanded. I've gained so many new ideas and learned about many new approaches!

Natalia Klamut

2023 NCUR Student Presenter

NCUR made me more excited about pursuing a career in healthcare and research. Not only did I get to observe so many other presentations from a variety of work, but I was also able to talk to people within my own field. These encounters really solidified my passions. NCUR helped me significantly with independence, time management, analytical thinking, and confidence.
