National Collegiate Research Conference
The National Collegiate Research Conference (NCRC) is a large-scale, multidisciplinary forum organized by the Harvard College Undergraduate Research Association (HCURA). The most accomplished undergraduate students from across the United States and internationally convene each year to share their research in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The core vision behind the conference is to provide student researchers with the opportunity to hear from the world's leading authorities in academia, policy, and industry, as well as to foster important exchanges and dialogue between students. Last year, after being selected through a competitive application process, over 200 participants from nearly 75 universities across America and abroad attended the conference. The goal of NCRC is to expand the perspective of undergraduate researchers through offering exposure to diverse fields and to facilitate the discourse on collaboration, leadership, and social impact in research that will prove to be invaluable in future pursuits.
