Undergraduate Research Conference

The Butler Undergraduate Research Conference will be held on Friday, April 10, 2026.

Butler University is pleased to once again host the Undergraduate Research Conference (URC), an event that has a rich history going back to 1988.

From its beginnings, the Butler URC has promoted excellence and encouraged undergraduate students to showcase their research efforts.

We are very pleased to welcome undergraduates from many institutions to campus. We are well on our way to reestablishing the Butler URC to one of the largest interdisciplinary undergraduate research conferences in the country.

For questions, please email Amanda Taylor – attaylor@butler.edu.

The registration and abstract submission portal is now open.

Abstract deadline: Sunday, March 15, 2026
