Welcome to the ACM Student Research Competition!

Sponsored by Microsoft Research, the ACM Student Research Competition is an internationally recognized venue enabling undergraduate and graduate students to:
Experience the research world – for many undergraduates this is a first!
Share research results and exchange ideas with other students, judges, and conference attendees
Rub shoulders with academic and industry luminaries
Understand the practical applications of their research
Perfect their communication skills
Receive prizes and gain recognition from ACM and the greater computing community


“…I would say that the ACM SRC was probably the only real chance for a young researcher like me to really get a voice, get into the field and get to know people.”
