Tufts Research Symposium
The Symposium
Please join us at the 2026 Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium!
The Tufts Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium is held once each academic year to celebrate the scholarship and research of Tufts undergraduate students. It includes presentations by undergraduates from all disciplines: natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, humanities, and the arts. All Tufts undergraduates are invited to register.
Mark your calendars now for the 2025-2026 symposium, which will be held in person in 574 Boston Ave on April 29th, 2026, from 12:00pm to 5:30pm!
Any Tufts undergraduate can submit an abstract for an 8-minute oral presentation or a conference poster.
Abstracts will be accepted from March 1st to April 2nd. You can find the submission link below.
The symposium provides a great forum to meet other undergraduate researchers and exchange interdisciplinary ideas. Additionally, it is an opportunity to present research before Tufts faculty members and student peers. Thesis writers take note - the symposium is a great way to fine-tune your presentation skills.
Please email emily.palermo@tufts.edu if you have questions or are interested in helping to organize the event.
