System Symposium will return in 2025

The UW System Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity will be held in 2025.

Every year, the UW System Symposium is held at a UW System School in the spring. The Symposium gives undergraduate students in all disciplines, from all University of Wisconsin institutions, an opportunity to present their scholarly work. Students participate through oral presentations, poster displays, gallery exhibits, and artistic performances.

The Office of Student Research, Creativity, & Experiential Learning coordinates and funds registration fees and travel for several students to present at the Symposium. 

For 2025:

The event is expected to be held in Madison on Saturday, May 3.

SRCEL will accept requests to present at the Symposium starting the first Monday of December and continue until the last Monday in February. For 2025, this will be February 24.
