Presentation
The Workshop on Scientific Initiation and Undergraduate Research (WTG) aims to incorporate undergraduate-level work into the SBRC, encouraging undergraduate students to participate in the symposium and providing an opportunity for future researchers to showcase their contributions in the event’s thematic areas. Participation in the WTG emphasizes scientific findings achieved by potential future researchers currently pursuing undergraduate studies or recently graduated.
In the context of the WTG, typical undergraduate research focuses on strong scientific-technological contributions. The goal is to promote the dissemination of work with a solid scientific foundation, reporting relevant findings in the field, possibly presenting results from experiments and implementations in diverse environments, applying various scientific techniques and methodologies.

Instructions for Authors
Papers submitted to WTG 2025 must be written in Portuguese or English, with a maximum of 8 pages, including abstract, figures, appendices, references, etc. Each paper must have at least two authors, one of whom must be an undergraduate student or a recent graduate (graduated in 2024), and a faculty member responsible for supervising the work. All papers must be formatted according to the SBC Template for Article Publication. It is also important to note that all submitted papers must comply with the SBC Code of Conduct for Authors in Publications, approved by the SBC Council in February 2024. Submissions will be exclusively electronic through JEMS3.
All accepted and revised papers, based on the recommendations of the WTG 2025 Program Committee, will be published as open access in SBC’s digital library, SBC OpenLibrary (SOL), in the Extended Proceedings of SBRC series. The publication of accepted papers requires at least one author to register for SBRC 2025 and present the paper orally during the event.
MELHORES ARTIGOS
Assim como nas edições anteriores do workshop, os três melhores artigos no WTG 2025 serão premiados, recebendo um certificado. A premiação ocorrerá em conjunto com o anúncio dos melhores artigos do SBRC 2025. Além disso, os melhores artigos do WTG 2025 serão convidados a submeter versões estendidas para publicação na Revista de Ciência da Computação (ReCiC).
