Fall Undergraduate Research Fair (FURF)
The Fall Undergraduate Research Fair takes place each fall semester in the Jordan Hall of Science Galleria.
The purpose of FURF is to provide students an opportunity to have their questions answered about undergraduate research. Students can discover not only how to get involved in research, but also how to get more out of the research experience.
Throughout and beyond the College of Science, there are many avenues for students to get participate in research during their undergraduate years. Often it’s just a question of looking in the right places and being persistent in the hunt for the right opportunity. However, finding the right opportunity is also about gleaning as much information as possible from a diversity
of sources.
Through a combination of listening to speakers, poster presenters, and representatives from various institutions, students glean ideas about get started with research opportunities. Students will see how they can add value to their research experience by participating in related activities. The sooner they begin their search, the sooner they will start participating in undergraduate research and getting the most from that experience.
The 2023 Fall Undergraduate Research Fair will be held on Thursday, October 26.
Colleges of Science and Engineering Joint Annual Meeting (COSE-JAM)
The annual Colleges of Science and Engineering Joint Annual Meeting (COSE-JAM) for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows is held during Reading Days each December in Jordan Hall of Science.
COSE-JAM aims to highlight the achievements of postgraduate trainees, foster interdisciplinary research and interactions, develop presentation and mentoring skills, furnish advice on career development, and provide a forum for extramural scientific and job presentations to diverse audiences. This all-day event consists of morning podium presentations, a lunchtime Q&A session with the Associate Director of the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars as well as multiple directors of graduate studies from both colleges, followed by an afternoon poster session and concurrent social reception.
All graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend are invited to participate in COSE-JAM by sharing their original research with their colleagues in either an oral or poster format. Research may have been conducted on or off campus, and mentored by faculty from the University of Notre Dame and/or at other universities and colleges. Please note that the costs of poster printing will be covered by the COS and COE.
Talk Science
Talk Science is a seminar series organized by Scientia that invites undergraduate students and faculty to present their research in an informal setting. These seminars are open to all students and faculty at the University of Notre Dame. Each semester there are three Talk Science events with topics that cover the many different science disciplines within the College of Science.
