European and Eurasian Undergraduate Research Symposium

The Undergraduate Research Symposium is an annual event since 2002 designed to provide undergraduate students, from the University of Pittsburgh and other colleges and universities, with advanced research experiences and opportunities to develop presentation skills. The event is open to undergraduates from all majors and institutions who have written a research paper from a social science, humanities, or business perspective focusing on the study of Eastern, Western, or Central Europe, the European Union, Russia, or Central Eurasia.

After the initial submission of papers, selected participants are grouped into panels according to their research topics. The participants then give 10- to 15-minute presentations based on their research to a panel of faculty and graduate students. The presentations are open to the public.

The Symposium is sponsored by the
Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies
European Studies Center
Consortium for Educational Resources on Islamic Studies
Graduate Organization for the Study of Europe and Central Asia
