Who Are We? 

The Capital of Texas Undergraduate Research Conference (CTURC) is a student-organized event hosted by The University of Texas at Austin. Volunteers from the Undergraduate Research Committee (part of the UT Senate of College Councils) and the Texas Undergraduate Research Journal work together to organize and host this annual conference. 

CTURC allows undergraduate researchers, from all majors and universities in Texas and surrounding states, to present and receive feedback on their original research. The two different presentation styles are (1) Poster-based and (2) Slides-based. 

Our Mission: To provide a collaborative interdisciplinary environment that increases visibility and promotes the importance of undergraduate research across the state of Texas.
