Introduction to Research and IEEE Paper Writing

This practical workshop, jointly organised by IEEE IES Rwanda, IEEE MTT-S Rwanda and IEEE ComSoc Rwanda, supports students, researchers and early-career engineers as they move from a research idea to an IEEE conference submission. The programme covers four connected stages: 1. From research gap to proposal - literature review, defining the contribution, research questions and objectives. 2. From methodology to results - experimental design, data analysis, figures and interpretation. 3. IEEE paper, LaTeX and poster - paper sections, IEEE templates, equations, references and research-poster design. 4. Conference selection and submission - calls for papers, scope matching, peer review and camera-ready files. The sessions are practical and designed to help participants apply each stage to their own research. The workshop takes place on 14 November 2026, from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM CAT.
