The U of A Festival of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (FURCA) is URI’s annual celebration of all things undergraduate research!
Why attend FURCA?
Current undergraduate researchers
This is your chance to shine! FURCA provides a supportive, low-stakes environment for students to share their research with a diverse audience of students, faculty, and alumni from across all disciplines. Presenting at FURCA is a great way to practice your presentation skills, get feedback on your work, add to your CV, and maybe even win some cash!
The Call for Abstracts for FURCA 2025 will open in November 2024. Watch this page for updates.
Prospective undergraduate researchers
Curious about undergraduate research and how to get started? FURCA is a great place to see examples of projects that students have been involved in, make connections with other students interested in research, and discover potential opportunities for you to engage in research!
