IEEE Technical Activities Engagement Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in IEEE Technical Activities (TA). TA’s mission is to inspire and engage worldwide technical communities to:

  • foster dynamic interdisciplinary collaboration
  • motivate participation and leadership
  • nurture and promote leading edge innovative ideas
  • empower professionals with relevant knowledge and life-long development
  • provide value

TA comprises 39 IEEE Societies, seven IEEE Technical Councils, a growing number of IEEE Technical Communities, and the Technical Activities Board (TAB).

 

Please take a few minutes to provide feedback about your interests and volunteer engagement in IEEE Technical Activities, Societies, Councils, or Communities.

Establish a Technical Chapter in your Section

Technical Chapters are a member's local link to the valuable resources available from IEEE’s 46 Societies and Technical Councils. Chapters provide Society and Technical Council members with opportunities to network at a local level. Chapter activities may include guest speakers, workshops, and seminars, as well as social functions.

 

Access Society and Council services and products

In addition to publications and conferences, TA Societies, Councils, and communities offer a variety of services and products.

IEEE Resource Centers make Society and technical community content available to the global community and provide additional value to IEEE Society and technical community members. The IEEE Resource Centers contain valuable, peer-reviewed technical content from reputable experts to enhance research or industry work, implement trainings, or earn CEU/PDH credits--all of which is universally available on demand.

IEEE DataPort™ is a valuable and easily accessible data platform that enables users to store, search, access and manage data. The data platform is designed to accept all formats and sizes of datasets (up to 2TB), and it provides both downloading capabilities and access to datasets in the Cloud.

IEEE Technology Navigator is a tool that brings together the vast catalog of IEEE resources and organizes it into technology topics—engineering and science concepts that are relevant to you.  Researching an emerging technology?  Looking for a conference to attend?  Looking for a technical society you can join?

IEEE Future Directions has established formal initiatives for emerging technologies as a way to engage IEEE and the general public. Visit each featured portal for access to upcoming conferences, news articles, technical papers, related standards, professional organizations, and academic programs. To get involved in the initiatives and to stay informed, join the technical communities available on the portals.

 

Learn about volunteer opportunities

Visit the new IEEE Volunteering platform.  IEEE members can advertise and search for volunteering opportunities, be it short- or long-term, local or remote, or requiring different skills.

TA is looking for volunteers with leadership and organizational skills to impact the future of the organization.

 

Plan a Distinguished Lecturer Program in your Section

IEEE Distinguished Lecturers are professionals who help lead their fields in new technical developments that shape the global community. These experts specialize in the field of interest of their Society/Council; travel to various technical and regional groups, such as Society and Technical Council Chapters, to lecture at events.

Please note, each IEEE Society/Council has individual requirements regarding Distinguished Lecturer Program availability and costs.

 

View resources for volunteers

TA offers resources and services to help volunteers manage and grow their IEEE Societies, Councils, and communities. Discover resources and services for:

 

View education and training opportunities for members and volunteers

IEEE Technical Activities offers education programs for TAB volunteers on topics such as TA organization, operations, services, products, and financial management.

IEEE Meetings, Conferences & Events (MCE) education offerings allow organizers to conveniently and easily gain understanding of the principles and skills necessary for running an IEEE sponsored conference. Learn what is required, review standards and "best practices," see new tools, and discover what MCE resources are available.

The IEEE Learning Network (ILN) is the online website for discovering continuing education from across IEEE. 

With more than 600 educational courses available—and more added all the time—ILN offers the latest in continuing education in engineering, technology, and more. Whether you’re looking to advance your career, refresh your skills, or just curious about the latest trends, ILN has the content you need. 

 

Join an IEEE Technical Society, Council, or community

IEEE Societies and Technical Councils produce over 180 publications and sponsor, co-sponsor, and technically sponsor over 1,900 conferences each year around the world. Their members take advantage of opportunities to network with other professionals and stay technically current within their fields of interest.

An IEEE Society is a membership community within IEEE representing a specific field of interest, while Technical Councils consist of a group of Societies that share similar fields of interest.

TA is also home to a growing number of technical communities, each responsible for fostering new and emerging technologies.
