The UBC CS Student Research Conference (CSSRC) is coming back for its 2nd Edition!

Our mission is to celebrate and advance graduate and undergraduate research in computer science by providing an inclusive, professional conference where UBC students can present their work, engage with academic and industry leaders, and build networks that foster innovation and career development. The CSSRC is fundamentally by students, for students, with the goal of empowering students to contribute to and partake in the research community early in their careers.

In early 2026, the conference launched, attracting 20+ student research presentations and 150+ attendees. It featured a poster and paper submission track, with faculty and senior graduate student reviewers, modeled after established conferences. Selected submissions showcased their work during the conference in a poster session, and some winning posters and papers received awards!

Additionally, the event hosted a research career panel, research presentations, and networking opportunities.

We're excited to expand the footprint of the CSSRC and cement it as a yearly premier venue at UBC to elevate and support researchers in the CS community.

Stay tuned for our Call for Papers and further announcements on how to get involved. We look forward to you joining us on November 6 at the ICICS/CS Building. Feel free to learn more about the program on our Program Schedule page, or join our Discord if you have any questions!
