IEEE Region 8 News UK & RI Section: Bi-annual meetings begin with event in Cambridge A series of bi-annual Student Branch meetings began in February 2011 in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland Section.

Our local branch, represented by its chair Mr. Shokrollah Karimian, attended the meeting which has also been addressed in the IEEE Region 8 news Booklet, vol. 14, no.2, June2011 (see full edition).
The meeting included: | Presentations about IEEE activities and initiatives in the UK&RI Section and Region 8.
