2024-2025 ISUR Research Expo

Every spring, The Grainger College of Engineering Undergraduate Research sponsors the annual Illinois Scholars Undergraduate Research (ISUR) Program Research Expo. The expo showcases the various science and engineering projects our scholars and their mentors have been working on for their year of participation in the program. The undergraduate researchers from the various programs under the ISUR umbrella take an undergraduate research course in the fall to develop their technical communication and presentation skills and to help them prepare for their presentations at the expo.

This year's ISUR Research Expo will take place on April 22, 2025, from 4-6pm, in Illini Union Rooms A, B, C, and South Lounge.
