Georgia Undergraduate Research Conference (GURC) 2020
The Georgia Undergraduate Research Conference is a regional, multidisciplinary conference open to undergraduates both within Georgia and beyond. GURC 2020 will be hosted by the University of West Georgia on October 23-24, 2020. We invite you to join us virtually for this 9th annual conference to present your research, performances, or artwork and to learn more about the exciting undergraduate work being conducted by other students in the region. GURC welcomes all fields of research and creative activities.
COVID-19 Update:
GURC 2020 will be a virtual conference this year! In addition to new research projects, students are encouraged to submit abstracts that were accepted to present at NCUR 2020 or institutional conferences this Spring that were canceled due to COVID-19. Seniors who graduated in Spring or Summer 2020 can submit as long as the research was completed while they were undergraduates. All submitted abstracts will be part of GURC’s regular blind review.
