“MURC celebrates the contributions of undergraduate research at UBC. The conference provides an opportunity for students in any discipline from across campus to present a research project they have been working on while engaging in scholarly debate amongst each other. Students have the choice of giving an oral, poster or performing/visual arts presentation of their work. Presentations are judged by graduate students, and prizes are awarded at the end of the conference day during a celebratory gala. The conference is held every year in March as the kick-off event to UBC’s Celebrate Research Week.”
