The UTASCILT is a student-led conference

We also encourage and will be accepting submissions outside of this theme.
Students from any educational institution are encouraged to submit their
research and share insights they have discovered in the field. Presenters

of time will be set aside for poster presentations and discussion. This is
a great opportunity to develop professional skills! The three best
