Get ready for a journey of exploration, innovation, and scholarly engagement as we proudly present URCA Week, a showcase for undergraduate research and creative activities at UCSB.
Students from all departments present their work through various formats including poster sessions, oral presentations, roundtables, demonstrations, and competitive lightning talks known as the Slam. The week provides students with a platform to share their academic and creative accomplishments with the campus community.
All UCSB students who did research during the 2025-2026 year are eligible to participate.
