The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) hosts the UC Irvine Undergraduate Research Symposium, an annual event held in May that offers hundreds of undergraduates the opportunity to present the results of their research or creative activities. See highlights from last year.

Mark your calendar! This year’s symposium will be May 11-15, 2026. We encourage all students, faculty, staff, and community members to join us for a full week of exciting activities celebrating our undergraduate student researchers! All of the Symposium events are free and open to the public.

All Student Presenters must register to present during the registration period, which will open in late-February and close in early April 2026. Please check back in February 2026 for more details!
