Save the Date: Undergraduate Research Symposium 2026

The 16th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium will take place on Thursday May 7, 2026. The symposium registration form will open on the first day of winter term and remain available through April 1st on the Symposium website<https://urds.uoregon.edu/symposium>.



The Undergraduate Research Symposium Canvas Page is now available in the Canvas Commons for import into courses in both the “Community” and “Instructional” instances of Canvas. You can find the page by searching for “Symposium” in the Canvas Commons search bar. This page curates helpful information and resources about the Symposium to guide your students through the registration process and presentation preparations. Please note that you will only see the full formatting and functionality of the Page when imported into your course, including the tab structure.



The Center for Undergraduate Research and Engagement encourages faculty who wish to incorporate Symposium attendance into their curriculum to participate in the Symposium Engagement Survey. Created in collaboration with the Tutoring and Academic Engagement Center (TAEC), the Survey enables faculty to create customized reflection prompts for students attending the Symposium and developing their conferencing skills for meaningful interaction with presenters and mentors. Students scan QR codes installed throughout the event to direct them to their course or cohort and the responses are delivered to the respective faculty. If you would like add your class or program to the engagement survey, please submit your interest via the Undergraduate Research Symposium Engagement Survey Affiliation Form.<https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2sk5BlQbKogrq06>
