Frontiers in Undergraduate Research Exhibitions

Frontiers in Undergraduate Research poster exhibitions provide opportunities for UConn’s talented undergraduate researchers to share their work with the university community. Exhibitions are held twice each year, with Fall Frontiers taking place each October and the spring Frontiers event hosted in April.

Any undergraduate student may present their research or creative work at a Frontiers poster exhibition. Interested presenters must complete a brief application in order to share their project(s). The fall and spring Frontiers events are occasions to celebrate the efforts of student researchers and their dedicated faculty, staff, and graduate student mentors.

We are excited to announced that the 14th annual Fall Frontiers Poster Exhibition will be held in-person at Storrs on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 5:00-7:00pm.

Information regarding Spring Frontiers in April 2027 will be posted as soon as the relevant dates/times have been finalized. 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for all our Spring 2026 Frontiers events this past April.  To access the various Spring Frontiers programs, please visit the Spring Frontiers 2026 website.

Frontiers exhibitions are open to the public and we encourage all members of the university community to attend. Come talk with students about the projects they've pursued and what they've learned through their engagement in research and creative activity. Ask student presenters to tell you about their projects; prepare to be surprised, intrigued, and impressed by their experiences!

Several hundred students present their projects at Frontiers exhibitions each year. Past exhibitions and programs are available online, via the Frontiers archive.
