Each year, Penn IUR hosts the Undergraduate Urban Research Colloquium (UURC), an innovative program that pairs faculty conducting urban-focused scholarship with exceptional undergraduates interested in developing research skills. Each UURC student-faculty team executes an original research project; collaborations have yielded publications in refereed journals, leveraged other research funding, and prepared undergraduates to pursue further original research.
