CUR Conversation: The Fundamentals of Vertically Integrated Projects
December 4, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST
Vertically integrated projects (VIPs) compose a large-scale, long-term, team-based, multidisciplinary, for-credit model for undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry. Vertical integration refers to team composition, which includes undergraduates of different years in school. Adoption of the VIP model continues to increase, driven by the desire to scale up high-impact practices and by evidence of success with equity, leadership growth, job placement gains, and collaboration across disciplinary lines.
Join Dr. Edward Coyle from the Georgia Institute of Technology as he shares the history, essential elements, and future of the VIP model. Read his SPUR article on this topic >>
