Research Week

Research Week is The University of Texas at Austin’s annual celebration of undergraduate research and creative activity. Research Week provides opportunities for undergraduates to explore UT’s vast and diverse community of research and creative work, and to find ways of getting involved. It's also a time for departments, colleges, and programs to showcase their students’ world-changing achievements.

Research Week 2025 is scheduled for April 7-11, with the Longhorn Research Poster Session taking place April 9 in the UFCU Room of the Perry-Castañeda Library.

Student researchers

Present your work as a research poster and compete for poster presentation awards at the multi-disciplinary Longhorn Research Poster Session. The registration deadline is March 7, 2025.

LRPS presenters are required to attend a poster design workshop.

Once you've registered, you'll be asked to submit a PDF of your poster for printing by March 31, 2025. You'll receive info on picking up your poster closer to the event.

Faculty, staff, and organizations

Host a research event during Research Week (or any time in late spring). Events can include poster presentations, exhibitions, performances, panel discussions, symposia, guest speakers, workshops, and more.

Submit your event before the March 7, 2025 deadline to ensure that we can include it in the schedule of Research Week events.
