About
University Research Week (URW) is an annual celebration of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s research excellence and an effort to increase participation by students, of all levels, in research activity. Ranking among the top research universities in the country, Carolina celebrates all things research all week long with URW.
Originally started in 2018 by the Office for Undergraduate Research, URW has become a staple event at UNC-Chapel Hill, showcasing remarkable, innovative, and life-saving research conducted by its world-renowned faculty and students and inspiring the next generation of scientists through presentations, workshops, and more. URW is powered by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research’s Office of Research Communications.
