The 4th Conference on Student Research Projects
The conference will take place on June 25-26, 2026, and will be conducted in a hybrid mode, allowing both in-person and virtual attendance. For those attending in person, the face-to-face sessions will be held at E3-101.
The conference aims to provide a scientific and networking platform for young researchers and students in engineering and technology related fields. The conference covers theoretical, practical, analytical methods, and experimental approaches for solving or analyzing various engineering applications and problems.
Participants who want to present their studies need to send an abstract of 150-300 words until the abstract submission deadline.
Participation is free of charge and participants will be awarded with a Certificate of Participation. The conference will be conducted in a hybrid mode. Authors can present their papers in person or online. Each participant will have 10 minutes for presenting their work. After each speech, a 5-minute Q&A session will be conducted to share views, discuss open questions, and receive positive guidelines for future works and cooperation.
