National Undergraduate Physics Conference (NUPC) 2026
The National Undergraduate Physics Conference (NUPC) is a proposed national-level event dedicated to highlighting and promoting undergraduate research in physics. While the conference welcomes participants from all academic levels, its primary focus will be on showcasing research conducted by the undergraduate students. Presentations will span a wide array of subfields, including theoretical and experimental physics, as well as interdisciplinary research. Unlike general science conferences.NUPC aims to provide a platform where undergraduate researchers can showcase their work and connect with peers who share the same interest in physics.
While the primary focus is on undergraduate physics students, the event also welcomes all graduate students who have not completed their master's degree by December 2026. Interdisciplinary participation is encouraged, especially from mathematics, engineering, biophysics, and related fields with physics-relevant applications.
About NUPC 2025:
The first edition of the National Undergraduate Physics Conference(NUPC) was a huge success. Not only did it integrate various undergraduate research, but it also connected students and researchers from diverse physics disciplines across the country. About 200 participants and 7 prominent researchers took part in making this come true. Contrary to other general science conferences, NUPC focused on fostering and encouraging a greater exposure to early-stage undergraduates. The conference also celebrated the groundbreaking and pioneering research within the undergraduate physics community.
