Registration for the Rice Undergraduate Research Symposium is now open!
RURS is a celebration of undergraduate research accomplishment at Rice designed to connect students with their communities and put research in context. Researchers dialogue with and receive feedback from scholars, professionals, and advocates to develop an understanding of the purpose as well as the quality of research at Rice. Entrants may also opt to be considered for recognition of research merit in addition to receiving qualitative feedback from evaluators. Additionally, students may nominate their mentors to receive recognition. Both poster and oral presentations are welcome. Our theme for this year is “PPE for Reenvisioning Research: Passion, Perseverance, and Exploration” and we encourage students from all disciplines to apply.
RURS will be held virtually on Wednesday, April 21st through the ForagerOne Symposium platform. Live poster & oral presentations will occur on the event day. Pre-recorded presentation submissions will be accepted as well, and published on the event platform. To register, students must respond to a brief questionnaire and submit an abstract for their research by 11:59 PM on Thursday, March 25th.Student participants can find the application here.
