Annual Events
Undergraduate Research Festivals
The Office of Undergraduate Research's Fall and Spring Undergraduate Research Festivals are held in celebration of undergraduate researchers' contributions to research, scholarly, and creative work at the University of Iowa.
Quick Pitch Challenge
The Quick Pitch Challenge (QPC) is a communication competition that challenges undergraduate students to present their research or creative work to a general audience in three minutes. Participants from all majors and areas of study are invited to showcase their work on campus.
Undergraduate Research Conference
The Undergraduate Research Conference was created for students by students to give UI's undergraduates a space to learn about undergraduate research. Students gather for a conference to hear from a faculty speaker, learn about what undergraduate research is, and find out how to get involved.
Research in the Capitol
Each year, students from each university bring research posters to display at Iowa's Statehouse. This event also allows students to practice discussing their work with officials, outlining the community/global impact, educational benefits, and importance of their research.
