President's Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence

The 2024 President's Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence will take place in the FSU Student Union! #PrezShowcase2024

This event, a collaboration between the Office of the President and the Center for Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement (CRE), is the culmination of the IDEA Grants undergraduate research program. At the President’s Showcase, students share their research and creative projects through poster and oral presentations. This year’s Showcase will take place on Thursday, October 10, 2024 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the FSU Student Union. Register here for the event. To see the event schedule and learn about the research projects being presented at the event, take a look at our event program here. 

The IDEA Grants program is a reflection of the University's commitment to developing students as scholars and innovators and are a testament to the stimulating education undergraduates receive at Florida State. These students' projects share in the University's mission of nurturing independent thinkers, who are learning to create solutions that enrich both our campus and our larger communities. Their hard work does not end at this event, as many of the awardees will continue their intellectual pursuits through honors theses, independent study projects, graduate research, and entrepreneurial and creative work. 

If you are attending this event as a student, we hope you’ll be inspired to develop your own research or creative projects.
