The Protocol of WAYA3MD

Initial Submission

Upon the receipt of the Call for Applications by the WAYACiM Secretary, the interested students shall apply for the competition with the recommendation of their research supervisor. One supervisor can recommend up to five (05) applications.

Note: If a supervisor receives more than five (05) applications, he/she will alternatively recommend the first five (05) applications or arrange a preliminary presentation round to shortlist the applications.

Guidelines

Each shortlisted participant will be allocated three (03) minutes to present their research project using one static slide, with no transitions, animations, or sound.

Screening

There will be two rounds of screening, of which the particulars are given below.

Initial round: The initial round of the competition will be conducted before the conference, and the top five (05) presentations will be selected for the final round.

Final round: The final round will be held as an event of the main conference. Two (02), awardees will be selected by the selection panel as: “The Champion” and the “Runner-up” respectively based on the evaluation criteria set by the WAYACiM Ex-co. The decision of the selection panel about the awardees will be the final decision.

The 3-Minute Dissertation Presentation Competition will be a unique opportunity for students to refine their presentation skills, boost their confidence, and gain recognition for their academic efforts. This competition will not only enhance their ability to communicate complex ideas clearly but will also add significant value to their academic profiles.
