| IEEE REGION 8 VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION FUND |
Link: http://www.ieeer8.org/category/voluntary-contribution-fund/
Region 8 IEEE is quite diverse in nature covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East. It is the fast growing IEEE Region. The average income in various R8 countries differs significantly. That is why a IEEE R8 Voluntary Contribution Fund (IEEE R8 VCF) was created. This fund is fed by voluntary contributions donated by Region 8 members. The money is then used to support members and especially students and graduate student members with low income in their professional and technical activities.
This support is not intended for living costs or benefits, but for members’ professional activities. The fund supports various projects but mainly:
– Travel support for participation in conferences that are located in Region 8 and organised or sponsored by IEEE R8 organisational units.
– Support for IEEE Student Branch Technical Activities within the Region 8.
These are not the only topics to be covered by the Voluntary Contribution Fund. Please contact the R8 VCF Coordinator Adam Jastrzebski (a.k.jastrzebski@ieee.org) to discuss your project ideas.
