The Undergraduate Research Symposium, or the "Meeting of the Minds," is a university-wide celebration of undergraduate research. All Carnegie Mellon undergrads engaged in research and creative projects are encouraged to apply!

What is it?
The "Meeting of the Minds" is a great opportunity to share your research with the entire campus community. All research projects are welcome - you don't have to be working on a SURG project to present. You can give an oral presentation on your project, design a poster, display your art, or give a live performance. Those with a more competitive streak can also register for one of the Special Competitions and compete for cash prizes!

When is it?
The 2008 Meeting of the Minds will be held Wednesday, May 7, 2008 (reading day during finals).

How can I participate?
As a group or as an individual, with a poster, a series of paintings, or an opera -- the choice is yours. All you have to do is register, provide an abstract, and prepare your presentation. We'll assign you a presentation time (between 10 AM and 5 PM) and room in the University Center.
