Undergraduate Research Events
Each year, the Office of Undergraduate Education hosts the Exhibition of Excellence in Undergraduate Research (EEUR). This weeklong event provides undergraduate students with tools to learn more about research opportunities, to receive recognition for research related accomplishments, and to compete for valuable research awards.
Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards Poster Contest
Current recipients of the Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards discuss their research with event attendees, utilizing a research poster and their in-person research presentation skills. Research faculty members judge and select the strongest projects representing each academic school.
Public presentation of research through poster presentations is an important component of an undergraduate student's research journey. All research disciplines and undergraduate academic groups are represented during the Symposium, and participants enjoy the opportunity to speak in-person to members of the internal and external UT Dallas community about the significance of their work.

Undergraduate Research Match Day
The Match Day event is open to all students and is designed to facilitate the process of pairing motivated undergraduates with faculty who are conducting research projects. Student attendees should be prepared to articulate their qualifications and ask questions regarding what type of work the faculty member needs assistance with, the number of hours expected, and the work environment (for example, will you work in a lab where you will be expected to wear long sleeves and closed toe shoes?).
How to prepare for Match Day:
- Create or update your resume and bring multiple copies to the event.
- Prepare questions regarding what type of work the faculty member needs assistance with, the number of hours expected, and the work environment (for example, will you work in a lab where you will be expected to wear long sleeves and closed toe shoes?).

Summer Platform for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) - summer research symposium
All students completing research at UTDallas over the summer are encouraged to participate in the SPUR symposium. This capstone symposium allows students to present their summer research in a large poster-session on campus. Research faculty members judge and select the strongest posters and presentations.
Public presentation of research through poster presentations is an important component of an undergraduate student's research journey. All research disciplines and undergraduate academic groups are represented during the SPUR, and participants enjoy the opportunity to speak in-person to members of the internal and external UT Dallas community about the significance of their work.
