So what are you waiting? Let’s hear your ideas and make it count!

 

Deadline extended!

The absence of connectivity is not merely a technological barrier, but one that affects access to healthcare, education, social services, work, and participation in the global and local economies.

The power of connectivity lies within the expertise found in everyone of us, communications engineers, so we can help to solve this situation.

Having said that, the organizers decided to make a deadline extension (originally set it for the end of June)

 

Submission Timeline

First round submissions to share the basic proposed plan and budget will be accepted until 15 July 2024. Applicants with the strongest initial submissions will then be invited to submit a full proposal within two weeks of the first round of review for the further evaluation of their proposed solution.

Term of funding: Up to 6 months

How It Works:

  • Teams from around the world will submit project proposals identifying a locality where internet connectivity is needed, and how local ComSoc members and peers will create, plan, and implement the connectivity. Teams must work with their local ComSoc chapter leaders. 
  • 2 projects from each Region to be selected to be funded and implemented. Regions are defined as:
    • North America 
    • Europe, Middle East, Africa
    • Latin America
    • Asia Pacific
  • Each selected project will receive up to US$12,000 to implement and sustain the project.
  • Teams will train local partners to maintain and sustain the project.

Now that you know the basics, we encourage you to submit your work and help us all to achieve this goal.

If further information need it, visit https://www.comsoc.org/membership/internet-for-all or email ComSoc at internet-for-all@comsoc.org.

Sure your ideas will make a great impact.

Central America’s 100 Powerful Women

ComSoc’s Latin America Board Director, Yessica Saéz Barrios, one the the hundred more powerful women of Central America, by Forbes.

With great sense of pride, we’ve got to read the Forbes Central America magazine, May-June 2024 issue, in which can be found our Board Director, Yessica.

The hard work and effort that she shows during her trajectory has given her this kind of recognition.

We are sure that her work is going to continue and she will motivate all of her surroundings on the path of the voluntarism, engineering, researching and more.

The whole issue can be found on the following link:

Congratulations, Yessica, on behalf all of your Board staff.

 

2024 IEEE Region 9 Awards Winners

Noticing a very special award winner, who has been part of ComSoc for over 15 years.

Mónica Karel Huerta Ph.D. works at the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador, performing research and lecturing as many students as she gets of her classes.

As member of the Telecommunications Group of that university, she managed to contribute directly with telemedicine and implemented tangible solutions that address the specific needs of those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.

Mónica fells very grateful and we, as part of the ComSoc board, are delightful to hear about this news, mentioning that she is the second female professional to achieve this award, since the creation of it, 50 years ago.
