The Natural Sciences Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2024 in Tudor Fieldhouse.
As part of Inquiry Weeks, the School of Natural Sciences is happy to announce our new Natural Sciences Undergraduate Research Symposium, an event to celebrate undergraduate research in all Natural Sciences disciplines. This annual event will highlight the incredible research contributions of our undergraduate researchers.
The event will feature several poster sessions showcasing student research through judged poster presentations, a Rice faculty keynote speaker and a reception for all participants.
The poster sessions provide a platform for sharing innovative research, at any stage, with the Natural Sciences community. In these one-hour sessions, presenters will have the opportunity to be evaluated by attendees and receive feedback on their presentations. Posters that achieve excellence in research and presentation will be recognized at the closing reception. Research mentor approval is required.
