The Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI) will host the Rice Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium, which features research and creative work of SURF students as well as other Rice and non-Rice students who conduct research over the summer.
Date: August 2, 2024 from 2-4 PM
Location: Grand Hall (Rice Memorial Center)
A brief recognition and awards ceremony will follow at 4 PM.
Space is limited! We aim for all students to be able to present their summer research. If your students will present their research to an audience at a departmental or program-hosted poster session or research seminar, we ask that they do not also register for the OURI symposium.
All presenters must be available for the duration of the symposium. Presenters will be assigned to present during a one-hour session (2-3 PM or 3-4 PM) and will be assigned as a peer judge during the other session. Presenters must register to present a poster by submitting an abstract using the following form by Friday, July 26th at 5 PM.

Registration guidelines: registration will include submission of title, abstract, presenter information, and mentor information. Title and abstract must be reviewed and approved by the research mentor prior to submission. Poster presentations are a form of publication; content should be reviewed so that unpublished results are not disseminated prematurely.
Poster guidelines: The poster should be a maximum of 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The Rice Digital Media Center hosts in-person and recorded workshops on using PowerPoint to create an academic poster.
Poster printing: There are several printing options on campus. Please ask your respective programs/research mentors for more information on how to print your poster. Students are responsible for bringing their poster to the event.
Invite your research team! We welcome faculty, postdoctoral scientists, and graduate students to attend and to serve as judges for the symposium. No registration is required to attend or judge.
