My involvement in conferences began in my home country Mauritius itself. Shortly after I joined Monash University Malaysia to major in Accountancy, I came to know about ICUR and could not resist the prospect. Although I had no prior exposure to research, the different workshops and training sessions of ICUR allowed me to explore the world of academic research and present my own research in ICUR 2020. Being one of the five finalists for the Best Spoken Presenter of Monash in ICUR 2020 was a great achievement as it has enabled me to share my research with a wider audience. Through this position, I wish to contribute to the journey of budding undergraduate researchers like me, supporting them along the way to the conference and providing them an unforgettable ICUR experience like mine was. As much as presenting one’s own research in ICUR would be an incredible opportunity, attending other panels and learning about the research of others while being supportive of them is an equally important contribution to the wonderful experience that ICUR can provide. I would thus highly recommend everyone to fully immerse themselves in every aspect of ICUR.
