We hope you\u2019ll join us for Butler University\u2019s 32nd<\/sup> Annual Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) on April 17, 2020<\/strong>, in Indianapolis. Submissions for the conference will be accepted January 1\u2013February 14, 5:00 PM\u00a0(EST).<\/p>\n

The 2019 URC featured the outstanding work of more than 578 undergraduate students from 23 different states representing 51 colleges and universities. Clearly, the reputation of the URC continues to spread across the country, and we hope to welcome another wide-ranging and diverse group of scholars once again this year.<\/p>\n

Our 32nd<\/sup> conference will feature oral presentations, competitive paper presentations, poster presentations, and research roundtables.<\/p>\n

Oral Presentations:<\/strong>\u00a0These presentations are a 10\u201313 minute summary<\/strong> of the research project with a 2\u20133 minute Q&A session. Those interested in submitting an oral presentation need only submit a 250-word abstract of the project. Presenters who choose the Oral Presentation format are grouped by discipline and, if the number of submissions is large enough, by sub-disciplines within an academic area, by research topic, or by research method (but always within the discipline chosen by the student.)<\/p>\n

Competitive Paper Presentations:<\/strong>\u00a0Students who have completed a research project are invited to submit their papers to be competitively reviewed by faculty across the nation for presentation at the conference. All students who submit Competitive Papers are scheduled to present in specially identified Director\u2019s Sessions. As is the case with Oral Presentations, presenters deliver a 10\u201313 minute summary<\/strong> of the research project with a 2\u20133 minute Q&A session.<\/p>\n

Students who submit their papers for competitive review are automatically considered for Competitive Paper Awards. The four highest-ranking papers will be featured in a \u201cTop Four Competitive Papers\u201d session which will occur over the lunch hour this year. The author(s) of the highest ranking will be awarded $300; the author(s) of the second highest ranked paper will be awarded $150, and the authors of the third and fourth highest ranked paper will be awarded $50.<\/p>\n

Students wishing to submit completed projects for competitive review should (1) create an account on the URC site, (2) create a presentation\u2014be sure to select Competitive Paper as the discipline\u2014and include your title and 250-word abstract, and (3) email their papers as attachments to urc@butler.edu<\/a> no later than February 14, 5:00 PM\u00a0(EST)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
