National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 2023

The National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 2023 will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the picturesque city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on April 13-15, 2023.

University of West Florida Students who wish to present their research at NCUR should submit their abstract to NCUR and OUR Programs Application Portal. Deadline has been extended to December 7, 2022. 

OUR will support ten UWF students attending this conference. For OUR funding, students must apply to OUR and submit their abstracts to NCUR.

Students who receive an NCUR Travel Award ARE NOT eligible for another OUR Travel Award this academic year. In addition, priority will be given to undergraduate students with no previous conference experience and to those that would not normally present at NCUR.
