About Research Week

What is Research Week?
Research Week is a campus-wide celebration of undergraduate research and creative activity. Research Week unites existing programs, events, and activities that showcase undergraduate research and creative activity. It also highlights the many research opportunities available to students.

What is the purpose of Research Week?
We know that undergraduate research is taking place in every college and school at UT, and we know that a wealth of resources are available for undergraduates who choose to get involved in research. By coordinating a week-long event highlighting the work of these programs and students, our goal is to raise awareness of the many research opportunities available to undergraduates and to showcase the exciting research UT students and faculty are doing every day.
