Mark your calendars! University Research Week returns Oct 20-24, 2025, with the theme “UNC Research is North Carolina.” This year, we will highlight all the ways our research benefits our state.

Help us showcase how UNC-Chapel Hill’s research fuels North Carolina’s economy, supports businesses, meets community needs, trains the workforce, and cares for our citizens. Join us for a week packed with inspiring talks, interactive events, and opportunities to engage with Carolina’s thriving research community.

University Research Week is an annual, campus-wide event sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the Office for Undergraduate Research.
