Some professional organizations and colleges and universities provide opportunities for undergraduate students to present the results of their research. Some even offer stipends to cover travel expenses for undergraduates.

Discussion Topic: For this discussion board, do an Internet search on “undergraduate research conferences” or a similar term, find an interesting undergraduate research conference or event that you might like to attend, and post a short description of that conference or event. Be unique – don’t post about a conference or event that another student has already described. Someone should describe the CUR events mentioned above in more detail, so, if you get on this early and are first, you can post about those.
