Summary
The dissemination of research via publications and conference presentations gives students the opportunity to understand their work in even more detail, to receive and respond to criticism, and to contribute confidently to academic conversations. However, this last phase of the research cycle is one that is often not comprehensively addressed at the undergraduate level. Over more than a decade, the authors have developed opportunities for international dissemination of undergraduate research, including training and support activities. Co-created with students, their projects include a long-standing international undergraduate research journal, Reinvention, and the International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR). The authors will draw upon their own experiences to explore both the benefits and challenges of providing such opportunities at the undergraduate level and offer some suggestions and solutions to sustain these projects over the long term.
