An undergraduate tech conference
The Undergraduate Conference on Intelligent Computing and Systems (UCICS) is going to be a two-day long conference, organized by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Varendra University, Bangladesh in order to encourage undergraduate students of ICT background to gather hands-on experience on the state-of-the-art research by learning from the experts. The UCICS aims to be a platform of fantastic opportunity for undergraduate students to build connections, gain knowledge, and show excellence. We look forward to meeting you on this journey of learning, innovation, and inspiration.
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Varendra University, Bangladesh, will organize the Undergraduate Conference on Intelligent Computing and Systems (UCICS) from 26-27 February 2025.
The conference is open to all students, academics, and practitioners in the field of ICT. Submissions of original, unpublished papers are cordially invited, where at least one undergraduate student is included as an author.
The primary objective of UCICS-2025 is to provide undergraduate students of ICT backgrounds a platform to present and publish their research works, learn about opportunities, get encouraged towards innovation and higher studies, and leave inspired.
To recognize excellence, Best Paper Awards will be given to two best papers based on the recommendation of the UCICS-2025 Technical Program Committee. Only the papers presented in the UCICS-2025 will be considered for the awards. Each award contains prize money of BDT 5,000 and a certificate.
UCICS values your ideas and research work. Here, you will find peers who are equally interested in the research that you are doing, and you can also listen to others. Especially if you are an undergraduate student, there are many skills you can gain as a participant, such as building your presentation, communicating with experts and peers, public speaking, etc. Presenting at UCICS will help you to build confidence in your ideas and research. Even if you do not wish to submit any papers, you can still attend the seminars and paper presentation sessions and receive a participant certificate along with additional benefits.
