5th Youth for Information Technology Research Summit 2020

Inviting young researchers to join us in the 5th Y4iT research summit (YRS 2020)!

YRS 2020  aims to provide the Filipino youth a good platform for presentation and exchange of diverse ideas focused on the computing science and technologies, aspiring to contribute to the global sustainable development goals towards promoting economic growth and reducing poverty.  It serves as a capacity building and dynamic learning experience for young IT researchers that are conceptualizing their ideas for either their thesis, capstone/research projects and/or paper requirements of their corresponding colleges/universities from all over the country.
 

The best ideas from among the submissions will be selected that will compete for the best paper award for each category namely Information Systems / Information Technology, Computer Science and Computer Engineering. 

As the call for papers is for young researchers, the criteria for eligibility and submission requirements are as follows:  (1) the primary author/s should not be over 40 years old and is/are Filipino citizen/s; (2) abstract entry with maximum of 400 words; (3) scanned copy of valid ID with picture and signature; and (4) endorsement letter from corresponding head of institution (i.e., President, Dean, IT Chairperson, Director). 

The main criteria for judging of paper presentations are as follows:  

  •     40%  ICT Innovation & Creativity  
  •     30%  Clarity & Quality of Presentation
  •     30%  Socio-economic Benefit / Market Potential   
First stage is the preliminary judging, wherein all abstract entries submitted will be evaluated and the top 9 - 15 entries will be selected for oral presentation during the event proper.  
 
Second stage will have the selected entries to present their 10-minutes slide presentation with 5 minutes for feedback and recommendations from the panel of judges and the audience.  The best paper among the entries from each category will be selected as best paper by the panel of judges represented by academe, government and the industry sector.
 
In addition, there will be poster presentations selected from among the entries submitted that will also compete for each of the three categories aforementioned.  
 
The criteria for poster presentations for a total perfect score of 20 are the following:
  1. Visual Clarity (5 pts)
  2. Quality (5 pts)
  3. Scientific Merit (10 pts)
Best posters will be identified and awarded at the end of the research summit, along with the selected best paper presentations.
