• Keep the liaison to events and publications of IEEE, namely conferences such as CISTI and FINTDI, TICAI and IEEE-RITA journal;
• To promote its own events with education and formation purposes, with a minor dimension but extensive to the Engineering Schools;
• To promote the IEEE Teachers In-Service Programme (TISP) and the IEEE Technical English Programme (TEP) in Portugal, in collaboration with the IEEE Educational Activities Board and IEEE Region 8;
• Follow up and evaluate the implementation of the Bolonha Process at the Schools of Engineering;

We hope to get with your confidence and support to apply, with success this action plan. We count with current and future members to improve education in the areas of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Computers, Informatics (and other related engineering areas and subjects) in Portugal.
