Call for Submissions

The Student Research Workshop is a dedicated track where undergraduate and graduate students present early-stage research, get feedback from senior researchers, and meet the AI community in Southeast Asia. Submissions are non-archival, so presenting here does not prevent you from submitting the same work to a top-tier conference later.

🎓

Who Can Submit

Undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled at an academic institution.

📄

Submission Format

A 2-page extended abstract (non-archival). Well suited to early-stage work or ideas you intend to develop into a full paper.

✈️

Travel Scholarships

A limited number of travel grants will be awarded to outstanding submissions.

💬

Workshop Format

Poster sessions, lightning talks, and small-group mentoring with senior researchers.

ℹ️

Please note: this workshop is non-archival and will not be indexed in the IEEE database. Your work stays free for future submission elsewhere.

Important Dates

All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) unless stated otherwise.
