Region 8 Student Activities Committee

From 5th to 7th of June there will be a student activity weekend with people from all over Europe. The number of participants will be limited to 100 students (first come first serve). It would be a great pleasure for us, to welcome students from your local branch at this event. Please inform us as soon as possible about a number of interested students so that we can start organising accommodation.

The so far planned program contains various activities including a sightseeing tour, short lectures, competitions, a soccer tournament and of course a party!

Participation fee will be about 50 Euros (includes room and board).

Further Information with details about the program will follow in time. Interested?

The IEEE Student Branch at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is proud to announce that the First IEEE Germany Student Conference will take place on May 14th and May 15th, 2009 on the TUHH campus. This conference is intended as a forum for all students of Electrical and Computer Engineering to present their research ideas and results gathered within their field of study, or outside university in amateur projects.

The conference will feature a poster session and oral presentations of some selected papers. The best contribution will receive the Best Paper Award. The Best Paper Award includes 500€ prize money.

During the conference it will also be possible to get in touch with the conference sponsors to talk about possible interships or jobs in the industry.

A social event will take place on the evening of May 14th. This social event will be free for all students who are the first authors of an accepted paper.

Call for papers
So if you want to participate prepare a 2-4 pages abstract/summary of your scientific work. Contributions are in English preferably, but German is also permitted.

Conference topics include: Optics, Distributed Systems, Power Electronics, Integrated Circuits, Security, Encryption, Control Systems, Sensors, Communications Protocols, RF Design

Important dates
March 29th: Final paper deadline
April 19th: Reviews are available
May 3rd: Camera ready paper

The IEEE-IPCB Student Branch as part of the organisation team would like to let you know that the 9th Edition of the National Robotics Festival (Portugal) will be held in Castelo Branco, from 6 to 10 of May 2009, and will be hosted in the School of Engineering (Escola Superior de Tecnologia) of the Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco. The  objective of the Festival is the dissemination of Science and Technology to the general public and all levels of students, through competitions involving robots. Competitions of the different leagues include Autonomous Driving (since the beginning of the event),  Medium and Small Soccer and several junior leagues, Soccer, Dance and Search and Rescue, under official RoboCup rules. The Festival also includes the 9th Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions.
