The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), sponsored by Microsoft Research,
offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their
original research on programming language design, implementation, theory,
applications, and performance at PLDI 2021. The goal is to give students a
place to discuss their research with experts in their field and to help them
sharpen their research and communication skills.

The top three undergraduate and graduate winners receive an award medal and a
one-year complimentary ACM student membership with a subscription to ACM's
Digital Library.

ACM SRC Grand Finals

SRC Grand Finals, an online round of competition between first-place SRC
