International Conference “Undergraduate Research” – Registration deadline
The Teaching and Learning Center at UniTo is organizing an international conference aimed at exploring educational innovation from the perspective of Undergraduate Research. Undergraduate Research (UR) is an innovative educational approach used in university education. It involves a formative experience that includes guided and creative research activities carried out directly by students under the supervision of professors and researchers. UR contributes to the development of transversal skills, promotes the creation of mentoring communities between professors and students, and fosters academic success (Mieg and Deicke, 2022). Additionally, the conference aims to explore the potential of Research-Based Learning (RBL) and Team-Based Learning (TBL), delving into educational models, implementation strategies, and their impact in university contexts based on the experiences of professors and international experts. The conference will be held exclusively in person at the Interdepartmental Centre for Molecular Biotechnology “Guido Tarone” (MBC) in Via Nizza 52, Turin. You can register until 5 September, or until all available places are filled. ✍️ submit at the conference! Participation is free of charge.
