Embedded Systems Competition (ESC) 2025
The Brazilian Embedded Systems Competition (ESC) is not just a competition, it's an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to develop and present innovative solutions of embedded technology for market applications. By participating, students can showcase their creativity, solve community problems, and contribute to Brazil's evolution of the embedded computing segment. The focus is on developing Embedded Systems for IoT in various application subareas, offering a platform for students to gain practical experience and recognition in their field.
The competition is organized in three phases:
- First Phase: The teams should proceed with a project proposal and possibly early development of their projects to submit the project. The Project Submission Form template is linked below. It should contain as much technical information as possible about the project and information regarding the current development status and completion schedule.
