About Our Event

The 24th Annual Posters-at-the-Capitol event is scheduled for March 5, 2026. The deadline for submission of student abstracts is January 21, 2023. Official acceptance and regrets will arrive no later than Jan. 30, 2026

With unique research projects on display, Posters-at-the-Capitol helps to increase understanding of the important role undergraduate research plays in the education of our students among those responsible for higher education funding in Kentucky. Our next program is scheduled to run during the afternoon in an Annex Room at the Capitol. Each participating institution can include up to four posters, each with up to two representing students. (While the Capitol Building undergoes renovation, our program will be smaller.)

Providing undergraduates with the opportunity to engage in scholarly, research, and creative work is important to our students’ educational experience and professional development. We encourage faculty to have their students participate in Posters-at-the-Capitol to help those in Kentucky who fund higher education understand why these experiences are so important. If you are an undergraduate, we urge you to tell your story to your hometown and university legislators so that other Kentucky students can enjoy and benefit from the kind of experience you have had.
