About UO URS
The UO Undergraduate Research Symposium celebrates the remarkable contributions our undergraduates make to research and other creative work in a wide range of disciplines. The symposium aspires to engage undergraduates in the research mission of the University of Oregon by supporting the creation and dissemination of knowledge, while inspiring younger undergraduates to seek out research opportunities and removing barriers to interdisciplinary education and discourse.
The event enables undergraduates to share their ideas, discoveries, and artistic expression with the campus and local community. Undergraduate participants are invited to select their preferred style of presentation to best accommodate their projects.
