Summary
Undergraduate research programs in Australia’s 43 universities emerged in the mid-2000s. The last decade saw undergraduate research (UR) evolve to become a major force in Australian higher education thanks to a range of national and regional projects and initiatives, which aim to integrate undergraduate researchers at all levels and in various functions of the university. The achievements of Australian undergraduate students and the benefits of inquiry-based learning are now well documented and widely reported beyond Australia. The pinnacle of this development is the establishment of the Australasian Council of Undergraduate Research, whose mission is to promote and advance the spread of UR in Australasia. This chapter presents the multiple facets and milestones of this journey.
