16th Student Research Conference on Applied Computing

Zayed University Dubai, UAE April 9 &10, 2025

INTRODUCTION

The College of Technological Innovation invites UNDERGRADUATE and GRADUATE students to submit their research for the 16th Student Research Conference on Applied Computing (SRC25), previously known as the Undergraduate Research Conference on Applied Computing (URC). The conference aims to foster collaboration and showcase cutting-edge research on AI and emerging technologies under the theme AI Innovations for a Better Tomorrow.

The (SRC25) seeks to establish a platform where students and faculty can showcase their research concepts and engage with fellow emerging researchers from educational institutions throughout the Arab world, as well as distinguished faculty members and IT industry leaders from outside the UAE and Gulf region. Consequently, if you are an UNDERGRADUATE or a GRADUATE student currently engaged in a computing-related project, we enthusiastically encourage you to submit a one-page abstract, short paper, or a full paper for participation in an Oral presentation, live demonstration, or poster exhibition. Every submission will undergo a thorough evaluation by honored faculty members, who will subsequently give valuable feedback to the authors. Beyond the student presentations, the conference agenda will also encompass academic workshop presentations. We invite you to join us in presenting your project and expanding your professional network.

Workshops

In addition to paper submissions, SRC25 will feature workshops led by faculty members from our college. These workshops are open to faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students. We are now accepting workshop proposals, and themes should align with the overall conference theme, AI Innovations for a Better Tomorrow.
