You can help undergraduate students take on real-world problems with some of the brightest minds collaborating across disciplines to solve these pressing issues with research, ingenuity, and dedication. You can bring more of these ideas to life. Gifts provide undergraduates with critical research stipends and conference travel for student presenters, along with general ESURC support, such as for program speakers and events.

Students join a research stream and have the opportunity to discover sources and interpret their significance, produce original projects, express their findings, and learn how to communicate and disseminate the relevance of their work.
