• Engage with complex problems that reflect real-world scientific and research challenges.
• Sharpen analytical thinking, develop persuasive communication, and collaborate under tight deadlines.
• Whether it’s a cash prize or a prestigious win in the 72-hour format, participants gain tangible achievements for their efforts.

Summit

February 26, 2026 – March 1, 2026

The UTSRI Summit is our national forum that blends rigorous scientific inquiry with strategic debate and real-time crisis response — a unique experience that’s more than a conference. Delegates engage in research-driven dialogues, committee simulations, and high-level policy design.

Unlike standard science fairs or Model UNs, the Summit emphasizes evidence-based argumentation. Delegates submit research papers in advance to ground their debate in real data and theory. A dedicated Scientific Review Panel evaluates both written submissions and in-session contributions for depth, accuracy, and innovation.

• From foundational case-based challenges to immersive national forums – there’s something for every aspiring student.
• Dive into research, debate, leadership, and real-time problem-solving in STEM contexts.
• Showcase your strategy, innovation, and scientific reasoning to peers and experts alike.Sharpen analytical thinking, develop persuasive communication, and collaborate under tight deadlines.
