An Introduction to the IAFOR Undergraduate Research Symposium (IURS)

First held in Kobe, Japan, in 2015 as the Asian Undergraduate Research Symposium (AURS), the IAFOR Undergraduate Research Symposium (IURS) gives undergraduate students the opportunity to present their original research as a poster presentation for an academic audience. IURS is a two-day symposium held in conjunction with select IAFOR conferences worldwide. Through participation in IURS, students join other engaged undergraduate students from across the globe in an international and interdisciplinary course that aims to enhance their oral communication skills through a series of challenging and exciting online seminars and activities, culminating in an in-person presentation at the conference. Participants learn from peer review, feedback, and advice and in turn, develop their presentation skills, broaden their professional network, and forge new friendships with other up-and-coming academics. Join this special information session to find out about IURS and how your students can get involved in future events.
