Undergraduate Research Symposium

NYU Shanghai Academic Affairs provides opportunities for students to present their research work through the fall and spring semester Undergraduate Research Symposiums.

NYU Shanghai Undergraduate Research Symposium

The Undergraduate Research Symposium is a platform to exhibit your exciting research achievements to all NYU Shanghai community members. We welcome all DURF projects, capstone projects, research projects from courses, Dean’s Service Scholars (DSS), Study Away programs, and other independent research done under faculty guidance at NYU Shanghai. 

Judges will evaluate and select the Best Research Project and Best Presentation awards. The audience will vote for the Most Popular Project. Each winning group will not only receive a certificate but also a $100 gift card as a token of our appreciation.

The Spring 2024 Symposium will be hosted on Friday, May 10, 5:00-7:30 PM, on the third floor, East Building. All participants are required to prepare 1) a research poster and 2) a 3-minute presentation.
