There are different resources available at Columbia that allow undergraduate students (CC, SEAS and GS) to develop, fund and present their research. Below is a working list of some such opportunities!
The Undergraduate Research Symposium is an opportunity to present your research in poster format to the Columbia community. Each year undergraduate students of Columbia University are invited to present their research in poster format. Interested in presenting at the next symposium? Please complete the online application form. URF staff will be in touch at the beginning of the Fall semester with additional information for student presenters. Additionally, Columbia Engineering hosts the Annual Engineering and Science Research Symposium early in the Fall semester.
Looking for funding to support your research? Many departments offer specific opportunities and resources to undergraduate students. You can also explore the opportunities listed on the URF database.
