The Undergraduate Research and Innovation Conference 2026, organized by the Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research is a strategic initiative designed to foster a culture of research and innovation among undergraduate students. It provides a dynamic platform for students to present their research, engage in scholarly dialogue, and connect with peers and experts across various disciplines.

This conference aims to empower students from the University of Bahrain and other local academic institutions by encouraging them to explore scientific inquiry and innovative thinking. It welcomes participation from all academic fields—including STEM, Social Sciences, and the Humanities—and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration.

By showcasing their work, students will not only enhance their research capabilities but also gain exposure to diverse perspectives, build academic networks, and contribute to the broader goal of cultivating a research-driven academic environment. Ultimately, this initiative supports the development of a new generation of thinkers and innovators who are equipped to contribute meaningfully to scientific advancement and societal progress.
