COMPUTING STUDENT RESEARCH CONFERENCE
Queen’s University is excited to host the second annual Computing Student Research Conference this October 4-5. CSearch is a conference for all undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in STEM to come together and discuss their ideas regarding innovation and research in progressing technology fields. We encourage the exchange of ideas between attendees through workshops, speakers, and socials.
Our primary goal is to bring students and researchers together from multiple academic faculties to promote the sharing of ideas through conversation and networking. The conference is also a great opportunity for students that are looking to build stronger foundations in research and are interested in learning about some of the studies being done throughout Canada.
We are currently accepting abstract submissions and early registration is open until the end of August. More information can be found on our website: https://www.csearchconference.com
