Developing undergraduate research remains a work in progress and one such effort in pursuit of encouraging more undergraduate students to do research is the REx Conference. This inaugural conference seeks to promote sharing and discussion of ideas in making undergraduate research as a versatile and holistic learning experience.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3bd948 elementor-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"d3bd948\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/undergraduate-research\/nusurop\/?page_id=1952\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more about our Inaugural Conference!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0766c3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0766c3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/undergraduate-research\/nusurop\/rexcon2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1892\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/undergraduate-research\/nusurop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/REx-Conference-Website-Poster.gif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4698\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REx Conference As a UGRC organised conference which is led by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education, the REx Conference (formerly known as UREC) is a platform of encouragement and motivation for aspiring student researchers who are committed to NUS undergraduate research to network and learn from each other.
