The European Commission launched Women TechEU – a new EU scheme supporting deep-tech start-ups led by women and helping them grow into tomorrow’s deep tech champions. This scheme comes under the new Horizon Europe innovation ecosystems programme, reinforced by the European Innovation Council (EICs).
To exchange our views and share our ideas during the COVID19 pandemic, IEEE Bangladesh Section and its Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group are jointly organizing a full virtual event, International Women in Engineering COVID 19 Congress 2021 (WIECOV 2021).
You are most welcome to be a speaker/participant of this congress and involve your WIE Affinity Group as a partner.
Date: 21-22 August 2021
Time: 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM Bangladesh Standard Time (GMT+6:00)
In Congress, we will discuss:

Be the change you want to see in the worldWith a motto to help women scientists and engineers who want to come back to professional life, the conference deliberates on providing an interface with the industry that is willing to hire women and join or rejoin the national/international workforce. The two days of the conference also deliberates on providing Entrepreneurship-Training and setting up new business end to end. It will be an opportunity for the gathering to explore the creative side and find an opportunity to start their own venture. In short, the conference will aim at providing a highly interactive platform to foster interaction, innovation, and collaboration for empowering, engaging, and developing an innovative mindset for the select gathering. Following things you can expect from us.
Returning Mothers Conference 2021 is happening virtually on August 28-29.

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 TALK”.
This programme supports women from academia or industry who have been in an industry/postgraduate
position for less than 10 years. The first IEEE WIE UKI “EARLY CAREER TALK” event was successfully held
on April 8th 2021 has attracting attention from both academia and industry.
This second event converges the novel (state-of-the-Art) research areas in Engineering,
establishing networking/collaboration links, exploring new research opportunities for developing
interactions between Academia, Industry and Government fostering economic and social development.
Please include the following information when applying: Area of career (academia/industry); Research
interests.; what the talk about (100-word), speaker bio, links and web pages, photo.
Workshop details:
The call for Second Event of ‘Early Career Talk’ closes Aug 16th, 2021
The Session will be held and delivered virtually Oct 16th, 2021.
If you would like to participate in this exciting workshop, please email the documents required to
Dr. Nagham Saeed (IEEE WIE UKI Ambassadors Network lead) on [email protected].
Recommended email title is: “Opportunity to participate in Early Career Talk”
We look forward to receiving your submission.
IEEE Greece Section and Turkey Section Women in Engineering Affinity Groups are co-organizing the first part of the
Joint Webinar Series with the title “Dual-Function Radar Communication Systems” with Professor Athina P. Petropulu
on Thursday 8 July at 15:00 (GMT +3) via Zoom platform.
Dr. Petropulu is Fellow of IEEE and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and recipient of the 1995 Presidential Faculty Fellow Award given by NSF and the White House. She is 2022 President of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and 2020 President-Elect of IEEE SPS. She has served as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (2009-2011) and IEEE Signal Processing Society Vice President-Conferences (2006-2008). She was General Chair of 2020 and 2021 IEEE SPS PROGRESS Workshops, General Co-Chair of the 2018 IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC), Kalamata Greece, and Genera Chair of the 2005 International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP-05), Philadelphia PA. She was Distinguished Lecturer for the Signal Processing Society for 2017-2018 and is currently Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Aerospace & Electronics Systems Society. She is recipient of the 2005 IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper Award, the 2012 IEEE Signal Processing Society Meritorious Service Award, is co-author (with B. Li) of the 2020 IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award, and co-recipient (with B. Li) of the 2021 Barry Carlton Best Paper Award by IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society.
Abstract: Spectrum congestion in commercial wireless communications is a growing problem as high-data-rate applications become prevalent. On the other hand, frequency bands earmarked for exclusive use by radar are underutilized. Spectrum sharing is a new line of work that aims to enable radar and communication systems to share the same frequency bands efficiently by managing interference. The talk will cover recent results on cooperative spectrum sharing for the coexistence of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar and wireless communication systems. The two systems are jointly designed to maximize some quality metric for the radar subject to the communication system meeting certain operational constraints. In the second part of the talk, we present results on another form of spectrum sharing, namely, on dual-functional radar communication systems (DFRC). In DFRC systems communication information is conveyed by the radar probing signals, thus there is no interference between radar and communication functionalities. DFRC systems are of great interest in autonomous driving scenarios, where the same waveform can be used for sensing and for vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Congratulations to the team!
In the “Challenges and Opportunities: Towards a Better WIE Future” workshop, female engineers tell us about the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. This will help others to learn by example from other expert engineers and help them on their journey. Professional female engineers from academia and industry will tell us about the different opportunities which will empower us to pursue further opportunities in the different areas of interest. Male engineers will show how they support women in their career and how they can be role models for others to advance women in technology.

Be aware of our mental health is very important. This pandemic situation affects all of us differently and we lead with it in different ways.
Even without the actual pandemic, mental health is very important and all of us should give it special attention.
June 16th is the first day of the Series of Webinars organized by IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Portugal and Turkey Affinity Groups.
As first of these events, we will talk about well-being and positive thinking, targeting who could benefit from new and different perspectives
to practice mental health – Series of Webinars: WIE Week of Well-being: https://fb.me/e/S1AISPd9
We have 5 speakers from around the world, each of them will give us a different perspective on how to lead with our emotional issues:
Here is the schedule of the event:
Join us to learn how to increase your confidence and self-esteem.
