Local Language

• The Local Language program is intended to promote activities (online or in person) and online content in different languages (aside from English) in Region 8.
• This program promotes IEEE content and its areas across the entire Region 8 and has funds available to help develop these activities.
• Region 8 is looking for ambassadors who will arrange several events in their selected local languages. Each ambassador can be nominated in more than one language if they are available.
• Currently, ambassadors for this year are selected (they will be informed by e-mail personally). Big thanks to all who are interested in participating in the program. The PEAC received 59 applications, of which 16 were chosen to be supported. Congratulations to the winners!
