For more than 37 years the IEEE International System-on-Chip Conference (SOCC) has been a premier forum for sharing latest advancements in SoC architectures, systems, logic and circuit design, process technology, test, design tools, and application scenarios. We consequently continue this tradition with the 2025 conference in Dubai, www.ieee-socc.org/.

We are very pleased to sponsor a Student Paper Contest is to recognize outstanding technical contributions from individual students. Papers considered for an award should meet the following criteria:

• The student must be the first author, must have written the paper while being a student, and must have done the majority of the work.

• The paper contains a mature, significant contribution.

• The submission consists of a clear, polished manuscript of no more than 6 pages.

• The manuscript conforms to the IEEE template and instructions given on the paper submissions page.

• The student must register for the conference and present the work to a panel of judges during the conference. The presentation will be in the same format as the lecture session presentations. Finalists will be required to give their presentations "live" to the panel of judges. Each paper will also have to meet the registration and presentation requirements of the regular conference sessions according to the policy determined by the conference committee.
