2024 UNL Playposium

International Conference for Undergraduate Research

The International Conference for Undergraduate Research (ICUR) is an opportunity for students at UNL to share research from any field of study on an international stage. ICUR was established in 2013 by Monash University in Australia and the University of Warwick in Great Britain. Through a network of participating institutions spanning 8 countries across 5 continents, the best in undergraduate research is showcased at ICUR each year.

Learning Communities

Philosophies, strategies, and technologies involved in teaching & learning can all evolve over time. We love to share well-established findings through workshops, but sometimes a space to discuss and interrogate ideas without the pressure of needing to already have the answers can provide a fresh perspective on the challenges of teaching. Instructor learning communities provide an avenue to explore and discuss these timely topics.

To Apply: Infusion of Sustainability and Resilience into Curriculum
