STUDENT AWARDS GUIDEBOOK
The Student Award is an academic platform designed to recognize and cultivate students’ creative capacities in articulating scholarly ideas, research findings, and innovative concepts through clear, engaging, and effective communication. Structured around three core categories—the Three Minutes Thesis Competition (3MTC), the Short Video (SVC), and the Poster Competition (PC)—this initiative offers students the opportunity to further develop both their intellectual competencies and their proficiency in presentation and visual communication, thereby promoting a holistic approach to academic and professional growth. Participants in each category will compete for certificates and a total prize pool of 20 million Rupiah, which will be distributed among the three activities in the student award, namely 3MTC, SVC, and PC.
Students can join the Poster and Short Video Competitions without registering as a conference participant
