New England McNair Undergraduate Research & Creative Scholarship Conference

The New England McNair Undergraduate Research & Creative Scholarship Conference (NE-MURCS) is a pioneering event designed to showcase undergraduate research and creative scholarship across all academic disciplines. The conference, held from Thursday, November 5th through Saturday, November 7th, highlights outstanding work from undergraduate scholars while fostering meaningful peer and faculty connections across New England and beyond. NE-MURCS also aims to inspire students to pursue graduate studies and advanced research opportunities by creating a collaborative environment centered on innovation, discovery, and academic excellence. We welcome all students, faculty, staff, and mentors who are eager to engage, learn, network, and share their work with the broader scholarly community.

All students interested in participating in a Poster Presentation, Oral Presentation, or Creative Scholarship Presentation at the New England McNair Undergraduate Research & Creative Scholarship Conference (NE-MURCS) will be required to submit an abstract.

Abstract submissions must be submitted no later than Friday, October 10, 2026. The abstract submission form and instructions will be found here on our website. Students who do not submit an abstract by the deadline will not be scheduled to present.
