Student Research Competition
*********************
The ACM SIGACCESS Student Research Competition (SRC) is a forum for undergraduates and graduate students to present their research, exchange ideas, receive feedback from a panel of experts, and have an opportunity to win awards for their work. The SRC is sponsored by Microsoft Research.
The competition is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Students selected to participate in the SRC will receive partial support from ACM to attend the conference. The competition will include a poster session and oral presentations, and up to three undergraduate students and up to three graduate students will be designated as finalists, and receive cash prizes and award certificates from the ACM. The finalists will also advance to the SRC Grand Finals.
We are pleased to note that two previous ASSETS finalists went on to be awarded prizes at the SRC Grand Finals, and were invited to attend the ACM Awards Banquet.
Please visit the SRC Web page for more details.
