IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a professional association with its corporate office in New York City and its operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. It was  formed  in  1963  from  the  amalgamation  of  the American  Institute  of  Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. Today it is the world's largest association of  technical  professionals  with more  than  400,000 members in  chapters  around  the world.  Its  objectives  are  the  educational  and  technical  advancement  of electrical  and electronic  engineering, telecommunications, computer  engineering and  allied disciplines.

IEEE produces  over 30% of  the  world's  literature  in  the  electrical  and  electronics engineering  and  computer  science  fields,  publishing  well  over  100 peer-reviewed journals.

The published content  in  these  journals as well  as  the content  from several hundred annual  conferences  sponsored  by  the IEEE are  available  in  the IEEE online  digital library, IEEE Xplore, for subscription-based access and individual publication purchases. In  addition  to  journals  and  conference  proceedings,  the IEEE also  publishes  tutorials and the standards that are produced by its standardization committees.

IEEE Travel Grants

IEEE Region 8 - VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION FUNDTravel  support  for  participation  in  conferences  that  are  located  in  Region  8  and organised or sponsored by IEEE R8 organisational units.

Region 8 IEEE is quite diverse in nature covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East. It is the  fast  growing  IEEE  Region.  The  average  income  in  various  R8  countries  differs significantly.  That  is  why  a  IEEE  R8  Voluntary  Contribution  Fund  (IEEE  R8  VCF)  was created. This fund is fed by voluntary contributions donated by Region 8 members. The money is then used to support members and especially students and graduate student members with low income in their professional and technical activities.

Member of IEEE R8 at least in a second year.Travel to a conference sponsored or co-sponsored by IEEE

Conference within the geographical area of Region 8

The maximum amount provided can not exceed US$1000.
