The Autumn Undergraduate Research Festival is a presentation opportunity for all students engaging in undergraduate research who wish to share their work.
Who can participate and what are the benefits of participation?
The annual Autumn Undergraduate Research Festival is a research poster and presentation forum for students to share their mentored research projects with the broader academic community. It provides an opportunity for students to gain experience communicating their research in new ways, including designing a poster and discussing the project with Festival attendees. As with the other forums hosted by UR&CI, the Autumn Festival is not specific to any discipline; students from all disciplines across the university are invited to apply, and student presenters should prepare to discuss their research with a general audience. The Autumn Festival is open to all undergraduate students at Ohio State who are participating in faculty-mentored research, and students can present on projects that are still ongoing - final results are not necessary for participation.
Over 100 students will be participating in the 2022 Autumn Undergraduate Research Festival. Please see the Program Brochure for a full list of student presenters, project titles, and research mentors.
When and where will the 2022 Autumn Undergraduate Research Festival be held?

What do I need to participate?
Students can either present their research with a poster presentation.
Poster Format: You are responsible for printing and bringing your research poster. Please see the Poster Printing webpage to view locations and pricing. The two most common locations used by students are UniPrint and Thompson. Most posters are 36" x 48" and should not exceed 48"x48". The event space will provide boards and tacks to hang your poster.
