Number of papers and participants
A total of 233 papers will be presented, out of which 110, that is around 50%, are not from the University. They are presented by participants from 10 provinces of our country, from which Havana is the one with the largest number of participants.
Organization of activities during the two days the event lasts
On the first day there will be a fair exhibition, conferences and specific presentations of research groups and topics specifically related to the production-research activity and software development. The second day will be primarily devoted to work in commissions, which are divided into 12 thematic workshops ranging from computer-related technologies to specific workshops, such as the one related to foreign languages, as well as those related to the teaching of computer science.
From the most relevant point of view there will be three associated workshops: one with the theme of high performance with the presence of prestigious German researchers, another one with the recognition of patterns and a third one related to project management.
Collateral activities to be carried out
- Panel on technological trends
- Launching of products of the Editorial "Ediciones Futuro"
- Science and Technology Innovation Fair
- Technological innovations
Contribution of this event to materialize the scientific policy drawn by the University
There are eight research lines at UCI and all of them have a direct relationship with the workshops that were organized for this III Scientific Conference.
To conclude his intervention, the Director of Science, Technology and Innovation at UCI said that the activities planned will be distributed throughout the University, so he invites the entire university community to take advantage of this space as he considers it is also a very good opportunity to interact with other 10 guest speakers.
He added that at the opening of the event, there will be a panel with renowned researchers of big data, virtual reality, the process of innovation of the university in the current context, computer security and many other topics for participants to update themselves.
