There’s an ACM Student Research Competition at a SIG Conference of interest to you!
It’s hard to put the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) experience into words, but we’ll try…
Attention:
Undergraduate and Graduate
Computing Students
“The ACM SRC has been an extraordinary opportunity to
expose my research and get feedback from an audience of
experts in my field. What makes SRC a unique and integral
experience is that along the phases of the competition, not
only the research work itself is evaluated but also the soft skills
of the participants.”
Miguel Angel Aguilar
RW TH Aachen University | PAC T 2015
“The SPLASH 2015 SRC presented an opportunity to
experience work in software engineering and to practice
presentation and discussion skills. Conversations with
fellow students and researchers about opportunities in
the field will guide my future for years to come.”
Andrew Kofink
North Carolina State University | SPLASH 2015
“SRC provided me a unique opportunity of showcasing early
stage research work to the pioneers of the community. The
constructive feedback and excitement received during SRC
later led to a broader and stronger piece of future work.
Since it’s organized in a competitive manner and judged
by experts, it helps one in both the technical as well as
communication fronts. ”
Puneet Jain

“ACM SRC gives students an incentive to think about
questions beyond the daily focus: Why am I doing this
research? How does it impact society? Why should
other researchers care? Which future directions to
pursue? Eventually, each researcher will need to
answer these questions in their career, and it is helpful
to face them early in the SRC.”
Ivan Ruchkin
Carnegie Mellon University | MODELS 2015
“The ACM SRC is an excellent platform to present your
ongoing research and get feedback from experienced
people in the community. It helps you improve your
research and presentation skills, and lets you gauge the
interest of the community in your ongoing research work.”

“Participating in the SRC was an amazing opportunity.
It was my first time attending any conference, and it
really showed me how to pitch my research project,
and interact with other researchers. I will carry this
experience with me in my future academic and
professional endeavors.”
Michele Hu
Cornell Tech | ASSETS 2015
“The ACM SRC was a fantastic opportunity to get my
research in front of expert researchers who would not
otherwise have seen it. I received invaluable feedback
on both my research direction and my presentation
and communication skills that will serve me well going
forward. Later in my career, I hope I have the opportunity
to participate in future SRCs as a judge and mentor to pay
it for ward to the generation after mine.”
