Center for Undergraduate Research and Engagement (CURE)

CURE connects the dots among UO’s three fundamental priorities. By offering undergraduates outstanding research opportunities, CURE rings together institutional priorities of research excellence, enhancing student access and success, and enriching the undergraduate experience. CURE supports students in all eight undergraduate colleges at UO, taking a broad definition of research that includes scholarship and creative work in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities.

Undergraduate Research Symposium 

Participation in the Undergraduate Research Symposium empowers undergraduates to share their ideas, discoveries, and artistic work with the campus and the local community. The event traditionally takes place in the EMU in the style of an academic conference and includes all types of academic research, allowing you to present your work through a poster, oral presentation, data story, or in a performance.
