The University of Warwick & World Congress on Undergraduate Research are committed to widening participation.

WorldCUR-BCUR 2023 will be an in-person event held at the University of Warwick, UK.

Students are often able to receive financial support from their institution in order to attend WorldCUR or BCUR.

We encourage students to seek financial support from their home institution in the first instance. WorldCUR-BCUR 2023 does also welcome self-funding students.

We advise students to speak to their home department, their personal tutor, or research supervisor for guidance on how to apply for their institution’s financial support. Students may also seek assistance from their institutions Student Research Department, Undergraduate Office, Student Support, Opportunities Office, International Travel Office, or similar departments in their home institution.
