University Research Week returns with the theme Back to Basics. This year, we celebrate the power of foundational research and its real-world impact across many disciplines.

Join us as we highlight the importance of fundamental research as the bedrock of innovation, showcase how groundbreaking discoveries translate to real-world solutions, and offer workshops to equip students and researchers with best practices for diving into and excelling in research.

University Research Week is an annual, campus-wide event sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the Office of Undergraduate Research.
