The primary target group of this workshop is final year undergraduate, MSc, MPhil, and doctoral research students studying in Sri Lanka.

The workshop provides a stimulating opportunity for young research students across the country to involve in discussions with some top researchers from local or foreign universities. Participants will also have the possibility to present results of their research activities and to interact with their scientific peers, in a friendly and constructive environment that would possibly lead to future collaborations. For this workshop, students are invited to submit high-quality posters of which the main author is a student.   All posters will be reviewed and selected by an international and local pool of reviewers for either an oral or poster presentation.
