The next UMS will be held on November 8, 2025. It will feature a poster session for undergraduate researchers and two invited plenary lectures by mathematical researchers. Information about applying to present a poster can be found below.
Undergraduates who have completed an REU, summer program, or other supervised mathematical research experience can apply to present a poster at UMS.
We have limited travel funding available for poster presenters, however applications for travel funding closed on October 10.
Everyone is welcome to attend, but please register so we can plan for the correct number of participants.
We do not have travel funding for non-presenter participants.
The symposium will be held in the Science and Engineering Offices (SEO) building.
