1st UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CONFERENCE
Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference is an initiative to engage undergraduate students in research and create an environment that will nurture research skills in conceptualization, writing, presentation, communication, and dissemination. This programme would create a platform for UG students to discuss and learn about various opportunities/ ideas both at a global and national level which would motivate and prepare them for a career in psychology. The conference also aims to:
- Provide the students a supportive environment with feedback from peers and experts on their research which would boost their confidence to carry out rigorous research
- Provide an opportunity for students to network and collaborate with each other, and with faculty and experts
