What is the CUPC?

Held annually since 1965, the Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference (CUPC) is an undergraduate conference in which students from all over Canada engage and share knowledge regarding physics and astronomy.

The conference is designed by and for Canadian undergraduate students in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP). Attendees will have an excellent opportunity to network with peers and industry professionals. Keynote speakers will highlight exciting Canadian physics research while panel discussions explore physics careers and the opportunities and challenges facing the Canadian physics community.  Most importantly, student oral presentations and poster presentations will celebrate the best of Canadian undergraduate physics research!  The Graduate Studies and Industry Fair is an excellent opportunity to explore post-graduate opportunities for Canadian students.

Where is this year’s CUPC?

The 60th Annual Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference will be hosted by students at the University of British Columbia from October 24th to 27th, 2024. With a goal to maintain a safe and inclusive conference, the UBC organizing team are designing an accessible and intellectually stimulating environment for the brightest young minds in physics.
