Some important information for the registration:
- Please register on Windows or Android operating systems instead of Mac/iOS. You can register on Apple, iPhone devices via the Firefox (Mozilla) browser at most.
- In case of the papers with co-authors only one of the authors should registrate and submit the paper.
- The submission of an abstract with minimum 500, maximum 2500 characters in the same language as the TDK paper takes also part of the registration.
- The abstract will also be evaluated by the opponents. If the abstract is not properly filled out (e.g. it is punctuated or contains Lorem Ipsum or other non-professional text), the paper registration is invalid and may be excluded.
- The application itself and the uploading of the TDK paper only take a few minutes, but do not leave it to the last minute!
- It is worth preparing the abstract in advance so that you only have to copy it when applying.
- It is worth choosing the three recommended sections in advance in consultation with the supervisor. The final section may differ from these, which the ETDT determines independently based on professional and organizational aspects, taking into account the recommendations of the supervisors and students.
- Registration and submission of the TDK paper are two separate steps. When registering, you must first fill out a registration form, and the TDK paper cannot be uploaded immediately during this round. After completing the registration, you must log in again, and by clicking on the title of the thesis in the appearing table, you can upload the file of the paper.
- The TDK paper can only be uploaded in .pdf format.
- Only one file can be uploaded (if there are appendices, they should be also included in the same .pdf file).
- A file with the size of maximum 20 MB can be uploaded.

What is TDK?
The Scientific Students’ Associations Conference (known as TDK) provides a public forum for student publications which go beyond the core syllabus and represent a high scientific standard. Our aim is to assist the scientific and professional career of the authors and to help improve scientific thinking and discussion. The theses are completed with the help of a consultant and the students present their papers in sections similarly to scientific conferences. The papers and presentations are judged by a professional jury, according to requirements and standards of scientific publications.
TDK is a two-stage competition for students (both undergraduate and graduate) interested in the world around them.
- The first stage is about finding an interesting research question and conducting an appropriate research to answer this research question. The output is a paper (around 20–60-page long) to disseminate the findings.
- The second stage is the oral round, where participants will present their findings in front of an academic judge.
