2026 IEEE ITSS Korea Chapter Academic Presentation Competition (3MT)
The IEEE ITSS Korea Chapter is holding its 2026 academic presentation competition in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) format — this year’s chapter academic award, simplified to enable broader participation. Participants present their research to a non-specialist audience in a video of up to 3 minutes with a single slide, in English, submitted as an unlisted YouTube link. Eligibility has been relaxed this year: the competition is open to both students and professionals at Korean institutions.
Registration deadline: July 22, 2026 (Wed), 23:59 KST. Please register via the registration form before the deadline.
The ceremony time, the room, and the judging criteria will be announced on this page and via chapter channels once confirmed.
