Due to the high demand we received from past few years, we decided to  allow Master student to participate this year! yeah!  Submit your work and talk to other talented students.  Any students are most welcome to attend the conference on the day.

No, all graduate researchers (PhD and Masters by Research students) and Masters by Coursework students are welcome to participate. Even if you have just started, we want to hear what you are excited about at the start of your research journey!

The purpose of the DC is to showcase an aspect of your work to the wider CIS GR and academic community. If you want to workshop something you intend to submit or refine a piece of work that you have already submitted, that’s perfectly fine. If there’s a demo you’d like to showcase to a wider audience, we’d love to see it!

The DC is a GR student forum to showcase GR student work and to get experience presenting and sharing your research in a safe environment. It’s also an opportunity to meet industry guests and potential future job opportunities. There are several CIS academics and researchers in the School now who participated in earlier DCs, so look at where it can take you.

If you’re on the fence, come and join our lighting talk session!

Please speak to the committee if there are costs involved with producing your demo! Some support is available. We can also work with you as to how best to set up a demo if you’re unsure as to what to do.

Unfortunately, they can't. However, they are more than welcome to register for CIS-DC, attend the talks, and engage with speakers.

Yes, your submission will be reviewed by a committee of esteemed researchers within the school of CIS

Yes, you can. We are more than happy to see your active participation in the DC.

How does $500 sound? We will once again have people’s choice prizes too!

Our judge team consisting of senior CIS faculties will select the best talks based on the quality of the presentation and work.

We would love for you to participate. If you can't attend the conference in person, the best option would be to submit a pre-recorded presentation for the 3 minute research track.

We offer student volunteer roles every year. Stay tuned as we will advertise it closer to the date
