Research Career Competitions
Expand your research experience through a creative project by participating in a research competition to put your technical skills and course knowledge to test and win prizes! Research competitions include topics covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
For each competition, students will be tasked with writing a 5-page research proposal based on a broad research topic from their field. Students will have two weeks to complete their proposal from the competition kick-off, where their work will then be graded amongst a panel UChicago faculty. Competition timelines coming soon!
