The Undergrad: A website making undergraduate research public
Vivienne Ponsford
Summary
Undergraduate research reaches conferences, journals, and seminars — and then stops. Beyond the academic world, people rarely hear about it. This pilot project establishes a platform, based at the University of Warwick, that sources quality-checked undergraduate research from established pipelines – including Reinvention Journal, URSS, BCUR, and ICUR — and translates it into short, accessible content published via a dedicated website and Instagram account, reaching academic and non-academic audiences alike. All featured work will have been formally published or conference-presented, with transparent labelling around peer review status. The pilot will test the editorial model and build the foundation for expansion across universities nationally.
