1ST IEEE Iberian Student Branch Congress

The 1st IEEE Iberian Student Branch Congress was born from an initiative between the Instituto Superior Técnico and the Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco’s Student Branches, with the aim of having together, for the first time in IEEE history, all of the IEEE student members from Portugal and Spain, as well as other students and guests from other IEEE Region 8 countries (Europe, Africa, Middle East and Russia). At this congress, there will be around 20 Iberian Student Branches, represented by more than 60 delegates, that get together to share experiences, develop new skills, socialize, interact with the industry and discuss prominent issues of the various areas of engineering and management.

The 1st IEEE Iberian Student Branch Congress is not about a simple event, but rather a strategic project for the development of IEEE, their students and the relations with the Iberian Industry. Having this in mind, it is a compromise of the IEEE to invest on its continuity, through the organization of future annual editions, which will be organized by the Portuguese and the Spanish Student Branches, one at a time. At the same time, there will be the IEEE R8 Meeting, a semestral event that goes through the region’s countries.
