10.1.27    Summary of Requirements for Technical Co-Sponsored/Cooperation Conferences

Since involvement in technical co-sponsored sponsorship/technical cooperation conferences is more limited than that of sponsored and co-sponsored conferences, the involved IEEE organizational unit may wish to negotiate a variety of issues with the sponsoring organization, including registration fees for IEEE Members, and other issues that benefit the Conference and the future interaction with the sponsoring organization. Below is a checklist of items for a technical co sponsorship/technical cooperation conferences:

  • Define a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) amongst participating organizational units (Policy 10.1.5). The MoU shall include a clause specifying whether the conference proceedings will be included in IEEE Conference Publications Program (CPP), which includes posting of the proceedings in IEEE’s electronic database of articles.  Inclusion in the CPP adds value to the conference. Therefore, the IEEE Organizational Unit providing technical co-sponsorship/technical cooperation with the event may assess a fee to the conference organizations, or negotiate an agreement that will bring financial benefit to IEEE in some other form, for inclusion of the conference proceedings in the IEEE CPP.

  • The Conference Information Schedule and other supporting conference information must be submitted to IEEE Conference Services for use in the IEEE Meetings Database, which facilitates the online distribution of conference information, and for archival purposes.

  • If the conference proceedings are to be included in the Conference Publication Program, the IEEE Conference Publication Form shall be submitted to IEEE Conference Services (Policy 10.1.20).

  • Technical co-sponsorship/technical cooperation conferences cannot use the IEEE name in the title (Policy 10.1.16).

  • Use the IEEE Logo as defined in Policy 10.1.17.
