About the symposium

The Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium at UIC is an annual one-day meeting focusing on undergraduate mathematical research and education. The meeting features plenary lectures by mathematical researchers and a poster session where students present results from undergraduate mathematical research projects.

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.

Plenary speakers

Poster session

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. Poster applications requesting funding must be received by Friday, 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.
