SRC Competition (Second Round)

From Anita Borg Institute Wiki

The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), sponsored by Microsoft

Research, offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research at well-known ACM sponsored and co-sponsored conferences before a panel of judges and attendees.

There are two rounds of competition at each conference hosting an SRC and a grand finals competition: First Round Competitions- The first round is usually referred to as the Poster Session. Judges will review the posters and speak to participants about their research; a group of semi-finalists will be chosen to present at the second round of the competition. Second Round Competitions - Semi-finalists continue by giving a short presentation of their research before a panel of judges, with a supporting power point presentation. Evaluations are based on the presenter’s knowledge of his/her research area, contribution of the research, and the quality of the oral and visual presentation. Three winners will be chosen in each category, undergraduate and graduate.
