4th International Research consortium on Information Technology Inovation
Introduction
The Research Consortium on Information Technology Innovations (ReCITI) is an international event that brings together young and experienced researchers in Computer Science and related fields to discuss research ideas in Information Technology. Done in collaboration with International Center for Information Technology and Development (ICITD) and Initiative for Technology Empowered Education (iTEE), the consortium is specially designed to provide opportunity for postgraduate Students of Computer Science to showcase their on-going research work and network with their peers and senior researchers of Information Technology from various higher institutions all over the world. Experienced Researchers are also invited to discuss their ongoing work and serve as mentor to young researchers in the process.
RECITI 2013, the fourth in history, shall be held during the 11th International Conference of Nigeria Computer Society at Osogbo, Nigeria from Wednesday 24 to Friday 26, July 2013. This will enable conference Participants to also take part in the Conference.
Objective of the consortium:
The Research Consortium, whose major objective is to help Participants Profile ongoing and future research work in Computer Science, shall take place in a workshop that creates networking environment between students and senior researchers of similar interests. The objectives of the consortium include:
ü To provide an environment for Participants to give a short presentation of their current research work and receive constructive feedback from both experienced researchers and their peers. The provided comments and perspectives will provide feedback on their current research and guidance on future research directions
ü To prepare young researchers and would-be researchers through inputs and advice on how to embark on academic and Industrial research and careers.
ü To encourage the development of a community of Research Scholars in Computer Science and encourage the spirit of collaborative research across Higher Institutions, Research Institutes, companies and other organizations within and outside the country with a view to exposing promising researchers to the global community of Information Technology.
ü To promote contacts among young researchers in addition to providing networking, collaboration and mentoring opportunities between students and academics working in similar areas.
ü To encourage presentations from experienced researchers and open up avenues for focused interaction between the experienced and young researchers
Expected participants
The Research consortium is open to the following participants:
ü Doctoral students in Computer Science and related fields who are either just starting or have got to an advanced stage in their PhD dissertation and want to discuss their research ides.
ü M. Sc. Students and graduates who wish to carry on their research ideas into doctoral work and are looking for guided contributions that will fine-tune such ideas into more suitable doctoral research.
ü Experienced Researchers from Universities, research institutes, governmental/non-governmental organizations, and other companies who are currently undergoing a research study and want to discuss their ongoing research work for the purpose of obtaining constructive feedback from other researchers or for the purpose of mentoring younger researchers in related fields
ü Experienced researchers who want to serve as mentors for younger researchers and students, through discussing concerns about research, supervision, obtaining grants and sponsorship opportunities, the job market, and other issues.
Funding for Participants:
Subject to availability of funds from our sponsors, it is hoped that financial support shall be provided to some of the graduate students whose papers are accepted for presentation at the consortium. The categories of students to be supported and the level of support given will be examined in the course of preparation for this consortium.
