About this event

Call For Papers | October 22, 2021

The 6th Asian Undergraduate Research Symposium (AURS) was originally scheduled to be held in 2020 – until COVID-19 intervened. What followed was a year where many, including academics and researchers, felt isolated and as though working in a vacuum. As we begin to emerge from isolation, 2021 is the time to build networks and share with others once more. We are thrilled to announce that this year AURS will be held online on Saturday, November 27 from Tokyo, Japan. This one-day event gives final-year undergraduate students an exciting opportunity to present their research to peers and academics from all over the world, reconnect with the research community, and learn in a supportive environment.

We, the AURS Organising Committee, are reaching out to scholars and academics from all fields and disciplines to consider undergraduates in their network for participation in the 2021 symposium. The day-long event features a range of engaging workshop activities designed to improve presentation skills and techniques for handling Q&A sessions with finesse. The culmination of AURS2021 is an online poster presentation during a special session of The Asian Conference on Education (ACE2021), one of the largest international interdisciplinary academic conferences in Asia. All student presenters who register for AURS2021 will also be able to attend ACE2021 as an observer on Friday (November 26) and Sunday (November 28).

AURS2021 is a unique event that allows undergraduates to experience the benefits and challenges of presenting at an international conference, to share their experiences, knowledge and ideas with like-minded others, and to gain unique insights from respected experts, professionals and symposium leaders: a valuable experience that will set them apart from other students. Discover how your support of an undergraduate can benefit them in their future prospects.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you online in November!
