This call is devoted to student and young professionals to present their innovative research ideas in the field of interest of IEEE.

The competitors shall prepare a 5 minutes video: “My research idea in 5 minute” in which they will present their research idea and activity using slides, pictures, photos, graphics, lab demo, etc., to describe in the most convincing and attractive way their innovative idea, achievements and field of application.

The audience present at the IEEE MELECON competition for the Research Activity Video Presentation will be able to vote their favorite video (instructions on the voting procedure will be provided on site).

The competition will take place during IEEE MELECON 2022 on June 16, 2022 (see programme schedule on the web page of the conference to know the exact time). The participation of competitors is free. The competition will be an hybrid event. Competitors can participate in person or remotely to answer the questions of the audience.

More details about the platform to be used for the “live streaming event” and how to access, will be available on the conference web and sent to all competitors.
All competitors (max 10) selected for presenting at the competition will receive a participation certificate. The best research idea will be awarded with a customized IEEE certificate.

Young professionals and students willing to participate in this competition shall send an e-mail to this address: [email protected] not later than May 20, 2022.

Policy Aspects for a Paradigm Shift in Maintaining Grid Stability

On 1 December (16:00 CET), the IEEE European Public Policy Committee (EPPC) is hosting a policy webinar looking at the grid stability challenges associated with recent EU energy and climate proposals.
In particular, the webinar will explore how the recent EU “Fit for 55” Legislative Package may affect the stability of the electric power grid and what the policy and technology challenges and solutions to address this issue can be.

Speakers include representatives from the European Commission’s DG Energy, electricity transmission system operators (TSOs), as well as IEEE EPPC and IEEE-SA.

For more information and/or to sign-up for this free webinar, go to: https://engage.ieee.org/EPP-Webinar-Grid-Stability-Sign-Up.html

For an overview of the EU fit-for-55 package, go to: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/legislative-train/theme-a-european-green-deal/package-fit-for-55

We are very happy to announce that on December 2 and 3 we will host the first-ever IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Summit in Italy! We are going to have a hybrid event with participation both online and in-person.

We have planned sessions on empowerment, entrepreneurship, mentoring, and also parenting! The event is open to anyone, especially to women and minorities in the STEM area.

Registration is now open, you can check out the schedule and get your tickets from the official website at this link: https://wieils-italy.eu/

The IEEE WIE ILS is an internationally acclaimed program of IEEE Women in Engineering, which is one of the world’s largest technical communities working towards shaping the scenario of underrepresentation of Women in Engineering and Technology.

IEEE WIE ILS started in 2015  was organized in Chennai with the theme “Beyond Yourself – Leveraging your strengths and breaking barriers”. The summit drew more than 200 participants which paved the way for more such summits all over the globe. Now every year ten such summits are organized across the globe.

Join us (either in person or online) for two days of panel discussions, keynote presentations, round table discussions, and networking!

Spread the news and see you in December!
