Professional Societies
Electrotechnical Association of SloveniaThe Elektrotehniška zveza Slovenije (EZS) (Electrotechnical Association of Slovenia) is a voluntary, independent and non-profit-making society of regional and specialized professional associations in Slovenia. It operates on the basis of its own program, and keeps up to date with the topical professional and organizational issues in the sphere of electrical engineering. For several decades, the Association has been playing an important role in bringing together and educating electrical engineers, promoting and directing research and development, working closely with companies, and promoting this branch of the profession. By issuing publications, organizing courses, workshops and professional conferences, the EZS is becoming a public professional forum, a place where the topical issues of electrical engineering are being discussed. Electrotechnical Review, a journal of the EZS, has been in existence for 70 years, and is published five times a year. |
Scientific Association for Infocommunications HungaryFounded in 1949, the Scientific Association for Infocommunications (formerly known as Scientific Society for Telecommunications) is a voluntary and autonomous professional society of engineers and economists, researchers and businessmen, managers and educational, regulatory and other professionals concerned in the fields of telecommunications, broadcasting, electronics, information and media technologies in Hungary. The Scientific Association for Infocommunications (in Hungarian: HÍRKÖZLÉSI ÉS INFORMATIKAI TUDOMÁNYOS EGYESÜLET, HTE) has a membership of ca. 1500 individuals who are distinguished and highly qualified members of their professions and 100 corporate members. Among the corporate members, large companies and small-and-medium enterprises with industrial, trade, service-providing, research and development activities as well as educational institutions and other organizations can be found. |
IEICE Communications Society (Japan)The IEICE-CS covers a wide range of research fields related to communications systems, with 19 regular technical committees and 10 fixed-term technical committees. Each committee forms a professional community and supports the activities of the IECE-CS through the planning of many events such as keynote lectures, symposia, and panel discussions held at IEICE General and Society Conferences. Some committees formulate plans for international symposia in their respective research fields, and technical meetings held jointly with overseas institutions outside Japan. Technical committees hold their meetings monthly or several times a year at various academic and research institutions in Japan, where the latest research developments achieved by universities, research institutes, and companies are presented and hot topics are discussed. The proceedings of each meeting are published as an IEICE Technical Report. IEICE-CS publishes English and Japanese transactions every month. |
Institut de Recherches Economiques et Sociales sur les Télécommunications
Depuis la création de l'IREST, le monde de la communication est en permanente évolution, aussi bien dans le domaine technique que dans les usages. Du reste les télécommunications jouent un rôle de plus en plus important dans tous les secteurs de l'économie moderne. Aussi le but majeur de l'association est-il de réunir, sans aucun a priori, des acteurs de sensibilités diverses pour faire le point sur des questions d'actualité, et d'en débattre. Le titre de gloire de l'IREST est de n'avoir aucune exclusive, ni sur les sujets abordés, ni sur les personnalités qui ont accepté de participer aux réunions-débats régulièrement proposées à nos adhérents. Ce projet s'est réalisé parce que l'Association ne se réclame d'aucune école, et n'est animée par aucun enjeu de pouvoir. |
The Information Technology Society (Germany)
The ITG promotes research, development and application of information technology. It promotes the exchange of knowledge between universities, industry and users of information technology. It protects the professional interests of the information technology engineers and scientists and provides a public discussion forum for these technologies. ITG's work covers the technical-scientific field of development and production, the transfer of technology knowledge and public relations work. It organises conferences and workshops. The specialist fields of ITG are: Information Society and Focus Projects; Services and Applications; Television, Movies and Electronic Media; Audio Communication; Communication Systems; Technical Informatics; High Frequency Technologies; Nano- and Microelectronics. |
The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (UK)
The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP) is the leading independent professional authority for the telecommunications industry. Its heritage goes back over 100 years when telecommunications was a new industry; becoming the Institution of British Telecom Engineers in the early 1980s. In recent years the ITP has widened its membership to include individuals, and corporates from across the industry. The ITP is collaborating with regulators, government associations and other leading bodies. The ITP currently has 10,000 members representing professionals from over 140 companies across the industry. The ITP aims to improve working practices within the industry by promoting professional development and the sharing of best practice. |
Austrian Electrotechnical Association
The Austrian Electrotechnical Association (OVE) was founded in 1883, when electrical engineering was a new but fast developing technology. As the safe use of electrical equipment and installations was its main purpose, the association published the first safety regulations for electrical engineering already in 1889, being one of the first institutions for electrical standardization worldwide. Today, 125 years after the founding, the primary objectives of the association are still the same: electrotechnical standardization and certification ensure safety as well as technological and subsequently economic advance. OVE supports the economy in the global market and guarantees compliance with national as well as international standards and guidelines in an objective and independent manner. |
Société de l'Electricité, de l'Electronique et des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication
Created in 1883 as the "Société Internationale des Electriciens", the SEE is officially recognized as being in the public interest. Its objective is to bring together in France the scientific community from the fields of Electricity, Electronics, Information and Communication Technologies, and associated domains, and propose a course of action enabling this community to contribute to: the permanent growth of its scientific and technological level as well as its impact on other fields; the promotion of covered fields within the public authorities and the general public; and the international recognition of French scientific and technological competence. |
Association of Polish Electrical Engineers
The Association of Polish Electrical Engineers (SEP) is the largest Polish creative organization of a scientific and technical kind uniting electrical engineers of all specialties and people whose professional activity is connected with electrical engineering from electronics to power engineering. SEP initiates and supports Polish scientific research in the field of electricity; organizes international, national and regional conferences; organizes training and further education for electrical engineers; and cooperates with foreign engineers' organizations as a member of the Convention of National Societies of Electrical Engineers of Europe (EUREL). |
Swedish Society of Electrical and Computer Engineers
SER is the Swedish Society of Electrical and Computer Engineers with over 2000 members. Our aim is to promote contacts and collaboration between engineers, influence the development of technology in society and promote competence development. To achieve this we use lectures, seminars, educational or company visits that cover a variety of topics. Our members get access to both formal and informal social networks. SER is a member of EUREL which is a cooperation between fellow societies in Europe. Membership includes free subscriptions to a couple of technical magazines. SER is independent from political and labour organisations. |
