Student Posters and Data Science ChallengeISEC 2026

Call for Student Posters

ISEC is a premier international conference that brings together researchers, practitioners, and educators to explore the latest advancements, trends, and challenges in the field of software engineering.

As part of ISEC 2026, we are excited to host a Student Posters Session, a vibrant forum where students can present their ongoing research work to the academic and professional community. This session provides an excellent opportunity to:

• Receive constructive feedback from domain experts
• Improve research communication skills
• Network with leading researchers and industry professionals

Best Poster Awards

A panel of domain experts will evaluate the posters based on the significance of the research problem and the clarity of presentation. Prizes will be awarded to the best poster submissions.
