We look forward to welcoming students from around the world to our 5th annual conference.
12-13th March 2024
Each year during March, the Undergraduates from across Lancaster University and its partners come together to host a conference in which UG students from across the Partnership and across all disciplines showcase and celebrate their research.
A conference takes a great deal of organising and so there are many roles you can participate in. Undergraduates from partners, disciplines and all levels of study are welcome to join in the organising and presenting – we need you all.
Each year Lancaster University hosts an online conference bringing together undergraduate students from around the Lancaster Partnership to showcase and celebrate research they have conducted – whether as part of a dissertation, internship, placement, or coursework.
The UG Research Conference is designed exclusively for undergraduates. It takes place online and is open to undergraduate students throughout the Lancaster Partnership working in any discipline. The conference provides a valuable opportunity for students to present their research to an international audience by producing a poster presentation and giving an optional research talk. Participants are supported by a programme of skills and subject workshops in the run-up to the event.
Underlying the UG Research Conference is a commitment to a vision of Lancaster University as a community of staff and students engaged in the same basic enterprise – trying to push the boundaries of scholarship – and united by interest in and curiosity about our subjects.
Undergraduates from all the Lancaster Partnership, spanning the UK, China, Germany, Ghana and Malaysia, contribute by presenting and supporting the conference making the event a truly global showcase of UG research.
Deadline to submit applications is 22nd January 2024.
The UG Research Conference takes place online, meaning that you can present from your home institution and interact with students from around the world without international travel.
You will produce a poster presentation, and also have the option to give a talk on your research at our online conference in March.

As part of a programme of events leading up to the conference in March, you will be invited to a range of skills and subject workshops to help you produce your research poster, meet those working on similar topics, and boost your employability and research skills.
The conference is free and open to all UG students at Lancaster University and its Partners, including UGs on ‘Study Abroad’ schemes.
It is a wonderful opportunity for you to network with fellow student, find out about a wide range of topics and gain new skills.
There are many ways you can participate in the UG Research Conference. You can connect with undergraduates by presenting your research, volunteering for supporting roles, or simply by joining as a delegate to view the presentations.
