The Yale Undergraduate Research Conference (YURC) is the nation’s premier student-run research conference, bringing together over 300 of the nation’s leading undergraduates from more than 30 leading universities, including unparalleled acess to Yale’s diverse and talented undergraduate population. As an official event of Yale’s Presidential Inauguration on April 5-6, 2025, YURC will provide a platform to engage with global academic leaders, notable alumni, and delegates from universities all across the world.  
 

This conference provides a unique opportunity for companies to connect with the next generation of top talent across a wide range of disciplines, including the Humanities, Social Sciences, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Medicine, and the Life Sciences. By supporting YURC, corporate partners play a pivotal role in attracting national talent to New Haven and Connecticut, creating a direct pipeline to elite student researchers who can drive innovation and contribute meaningfully to the region’s growth.

Yale Ventures is a keystone partner for the conference, hosting the Yale Undergraduate Innovation Expo, a marquee event to bridge academia and industry.
