Event Details

Each year Lancaster University hosts a conference where undergraduates from all disciplines come together to showcase and celebrate their research. In March 2021 the UG Conference is open to all Lancaster Teaching Partner UGs.

An undergraduate research conference is an event designed to promote, share and celebrate work undertaken by you as undergraduates, as part of your study. It’s about coming together as a community of undergraduates to showcase projects and learn about the contribution you make through your work to the whole University community.

Conventionally a conference would be held face-to-face at a large venue and consist of oral presentations, paper poster displays, display stands to visit and lunch! The Covid-10 pandemic has presented us with an opportunity to run the 2021 conference in a different way, wholly online and for all undergraduates across the Lancaster University Teaching Partnership. This means it will be a truly global showcase of undergraduate research with opportunities to meet and talk to students from across continents and cultures. This includes all 8 LU partners, spanning the UK, China, Germany, Ghana and Malaysia.

You can participate in the undergraduate conference in many ways. You can connect with fellow undergraduates by presenting your project and research findings, help with conference organisation and supporting roles to enhance your employability skills, or simply join as a delegate to view the presentations and online activities and be inspired by the global research going on at Lancaster University.
