Are you ready to present your work? Would you like to receive feedback on your presentation? Join us at the 2026 UR Inspiration Conference, where you can share the results of your undergraduate research with students, faculty, and other research mentor from Arizona, California, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, Mexico, and Argentina. UR Inspiration is a FREE, virtual, international conference with sessions offered in both English and Spanish.
You can participate in UR Inspiration in several ways:
- You can present your research in either Spanish or English, and receive reviewer feedback from university faculty and staff in the same language. You may choose to present from a research poster, from presentation slides (such as PowerPoint or Google Slides), from other sources (for instance, video, artwork, technical drawing, etc), or you may opt to present only orally with no visual aids.
- To submit your abstract for consideration, please click on "SUBMIT ABSTRACT" above (available on September 4).
- If you have any questions about your abstract submission, please contact Karna Walter.
- You may also attend UR Inspiration to see other student presentations, without presenting your own research. This is a great option if you would like to learn more about varying research methods and approaches, would like to explore academic disciplines outside your own, or would like to see how other students present their research effectively. Links to access conference sessions will open on ur-inspiration.org closer to the conference date.
The UR Inspiration Conference will be held on Friday, October 23, and is open to students from the University of Arizona, Florida International University, the University of New Mexico, the University of Texas El Paso, California State University, Long Beach, la Universidad Chauhtemoc in Mexico, and various institutions in Argentina hosted by la Universidad Nacional CUYO in Argentina.
