Since its inception in 2003, each summer MU3C has held a 2-3-day research conference hosted by one or more computational faculty members at research institutions in the Midwest. Participation in the conference allows students to deepen their understanding of their research and to develop their oral communication skills. Listening to research talks from other students and faculty hosts will help participants gain a better understanding of the full breadth of computational methodology and the variety of research areas to which it can be applied.

The summer conference also allows students to explore some of the top graduate programs in the country through panel discussions, departmental tours with current graduate students, and interactions with our faculty hosts.
