The ACM Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) is an international computing research competition for university students. The competition is held annually and split into undergraduate and graduate divisions, organized by the Association for Computing Machinery. With several hundred annual participants, the Student Research Competition is considered the world's largest university-level research contest in the field of computing.[1][2]
The competition started as a travel grant program in 2003 and was previously sponsored by Microsoft. The winners of the competition are recognized at the ACM Awards Banquet, alongside the Turing Award winners.[3]
Structure
[edit]The first round of competition spans more than 20 major ACM conferences, hosting special poster sessions to showcase research submitted by students. Selected semi-finalists add a slide presentation and compete for prizes in both undergraduate and graduate categories based on their knowledge, contribution, and quality of presentation. Those taking first place at the second-level competitions are invited to compete in the annual Grand Finals. Three top students in each category are selected as winners each year.[1][3]
First-round conferences include the ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference, the International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH),[4] the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE),[5] the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing,[6] and SIGPLAN's Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation, and many others.
