Empowering Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate students from Sri Lankan universities are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts to ICAS 2025.

As we continue the legacy of the Faculty Annual Research Session (FARS) of the Faculty of Applied Science, University of Vavuniya, we are pleased to announce the 6th Annual Student Research Congress, now proudly amalgamated with ICAS2025. This collaboration aims to provide a national platform for undergraduates to showcase their research, creativity, and innovative thinking.

Students are invited to submit research abstracts, and upon acceptance, will be requested to prepare posters for presentation during the conference. Selected posters will be specially recognized, and students may be eligible for travel assistance within Sri Lanka to attend the event. This is a unique opportunity for undergraduates to engage with academics, researchers, and professionals from diverse disciplines and institutions, contributing to a vibrant community of emerging scholars.

Peer Review Process

All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review using Microsoft’s Conference Management Toolkit (CMT). We extend our gratitude to Microsoft for providing this platform and related services free of charge.
