Case study: International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR)ICUR is an exciting event where research is shared on a global platform by undergraduates involved in a hugely diverse range of projects. Using the latest video-conferencing technology, ICUR enables students from institutions in eight countries, across five continents to communicate with each other in real time. Undergraduates present their research in joint sessions alongside peers on the other side of the world in a single 48-hour forum. Students are a vital part of the success of the event, holding key positions of responsibility in developing and organising the conference. |
