Technical Activities Goals

  • 2020 Formal Document of Vision, Mission and Goals
  • Grow and keep our current publications, conferences, standards, and technology communities at the forefront of quality and usefulness for engineers worldwide while expanding the value proposition for our product lines
  • Revise, modify and create new relevant content in publications and conferences to satisfy all member needs, especially the industry and government engineering community 
  • Create a transparent financial and governance organization that allocates financial accounting (gross revenues, direct and fair allocated indirect expenses) to the IP generation unit and assigns direct/clear organization governance (authority, responsibility and accountability) to S/Cs

TAB Statement on Racial Injustice

At the 21 November 2020 Technical Activities Board Meeting, board members deliberated on a statement regarding racial injustice, and the following TAB motion was approved: "True to the IEEE Code of Ethics, IEEE TAB stands with those who advocate decisively for racial justice, equality, and against brutality."

Societies and Technical Councils

IEEE Societies and Technical Councils produce over 180 publications and sponsor, co-sponsor, and technically sponsor over 2,000 conferences each year all around the world. Their members take advantage of opportunities to network with other professionals and stay technically current within their fields of interest.

An IEEE Society is a membership community within IEEE representing a specific field of interest, while Technical Councils consist of a group of Societies that share similar fields of interest.
