How Sharing My Ideas Helped Me

“It was a fantastic and memorable experience to participate in SRC. Writing the abstract, preparing the poster, and presenting your ideas to the audience and convincing them is challenging but rewarding and builds up your confidence and communication skills. SRC is a really nice event where you can meet the experts from various fields, exchange your ideas, and gain valuable feedback on your research. Go, SRC!”

“It was a great opportunity to be able to present at ACM SRC the work developed during a study abroad experience in the USA. Working with students from other places with different backgrounds was an incredible experience. That was my first time presenting in a conference and it felt great to expose our research, discuss it and get invaluable feedback. It was an amazing chance to train my research pitch and share ideas with others.”
