Sixth Event of ‘Early Career Talks’ Call for Participation
IEEE WIE UKI goal is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally. We envision a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity. IEEE WIE UK and Ireland through the Ambassador Scheme are calling women in engineering to participate in a technical, inspirational, and empowering session tagged “EARLY CAREER TALKS”. The previous events were very successful, they have attracted attention from both academia and industry. This event converges the novel (state-of-the-Art) research areas in Engineering besides establishing networking/collaboration links, exploring new research opportunities for developing interactions between Academia, Industry and Government fostering economic and social development.
Criteria for who should apply and how to apply:
This programme supports engineers from academia or industry who have been in an industry/postgraduate position for less than 10 years. This session welcomes speakers/presenters from any part of the world who are:
- PhD students close to graduation and have published papers in respectful conferences/journals.
- Engineers who have participated in innovative projects.
When applying, send your photo saved as an image and include the following information in a one-word document:
- Area of career (academia/industry).
- Research interests or work field (e.g Robotic systems or Harvesting Systems).
- Talk title and what the talk will be about (100-word).
- Speaker bio (including links and web pages).
Workshop details:
The call for the Sixth event of the ‘Early Career Talks’ closes at 11:59 pm May 16th, 2022
The Session will be held and delivered virtually on Thursday June 16th, 2022, at 12 pm.
If you would like to participate in this exciting workshop, please email the documents required to the IEEE WIE UKI Early Profession Lead, Dr Nagham Saeed, on [email protected].
Recommended email title is: “Opportunity to participate in Early Career Talks”.
We look forward to receiving your submission.
25 Years IEEE WIE | Extraordinary Women Extraordinary Science Seminar Series
Join us for our next Seminar, 06 May 2022 at 9 am EST.
Speaker: Alessandra Flammini
Topic: Distributed measurements and IoT
About the speaker
Join us on 6 May at 9 am EST. for an engaging talk with Alessandra Flammini.
Alessandra Flammini graduated with honors in Physics from the University of Rome in 1985. She is in charge of the *eLUX interdepartmental laboratory* on smart grids and smart living. Since 2019 she has been the chairman of the council of the aggregate study program. She is the author of more than 300 international publications, including journals, patents, and conference proceedings.
The following subjects will be explored
Starting from existing IoT systems, emerging application fields such as mobility will be explored. Distributed measurements, i.e. sensor networks, is evolving in the Internet of Things, including more types of device, reducing waste, and increasing data for artificial intelligence algorithms. The concept of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) foresees a network in which vehicles can communicate with each other to manage traffic, and emergencies and limit pollution. To demonstrate the feasibility of such a vision, some low-cost commercial devices, suitable for current vehicles, show a time latency
on the order of tens of seconds.

IEEE Algeria Section Activities January-April 2022
A new breath has been brought to the IEEE Algeria Section by the new office which was elected by the end of January, where many activities have been launched for the promotion and the enlargement of the membership within the whole country.
The IEEE Algeria section is technical sponsoring many international conference locally and abroad where many IEEE members are involved.
The more active chapter within the Section is the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Chapter which organized many workshops along the year and a summer school is schedules to be organized next July.
IEEE Student Branch University of Boumerdes is the first IEEE student branch in Algeria founded in 2016, located at the institute of electrical and electronic engineering university of Boumerdes. Indeed, The IEEE Student Branch University of Boumerdes organized several activities from January 2022 to April 2022, which can be summarized as follows:
Webinars:
1- Let’s Talk mars with Pr. NOUREDDINE MELIKSHI where we discussed curiosity and perseverance missions.
2- Techknowledge: a series of technical webinars aimed to introduce student to new technologies that they need in future including: Quantum computing, Cisco systems
Continuous trainings:
1- Deep learning training: participants learnt basics of programming techniques then practicing them through a set of labs to help them get started with deep learning.
2- PCB Design: a series of workshops targeting beginners in circuit design, modeling and PCB design.
3- Graphic Day: graphic design training for beginners finished with a challenge and winners got the chance to volunteer with our SB.
4- Machine Learning Bootcamp aimed to develop our member’s skills in machine learning followed by a 30days of programming challenges to put our student skills into action.
IEEE programs:
1- IEEE PES DAY 2022: we have three ambassador from our SB, we organized REMENA gathering to talk about energy situation in MENA region, as well as webinars in smart grids and grid protection training.
