[IEEE Ukraine Section] Results of Individual Grants Competition (Microwave, Antennas and Radars)

IEEE Ukraine Section and its Subunits organized a Grant Program Competition for scientists, engineers, and students based on the financial results of IEEE Ukrainian Microwave Week (UkrMW). We express our gratitude to the team of volunteers, participants and all the friends of the Week for holding a successful event.
This competitive program provides individual grants of $500 for a one-year period. The program aims to support the research and professional development of individuals in the Microwave, Antennas and Radars.
Grant Program Coordinator received 31 applications and, through a competitive selection process, identified 12 projects to be funded in 2024. Financial support will be provided to 12 researchers, including 2 young professionals and 4 students. One project is dedicated to historical research and submission of an IEEE Milestone application. The supported projects are based in Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kyiv and Lviv.
We remind all participants that grant recipients must:
– hold a position or study at Ukrainian Research Institute or University;
– have permanent residence (reside and stay) in Ukraine for a period of project; time for short-term training or participation in foreign conferences is not taken into account.
The period of the projects is 12 months. The final report must be submitted to the Grant Program Coordinator within the last month of the project duration. Alternatively, the final report can be replaced by one or more peer-reviewed scientific paper publications (or IEEE Milestone applications) with acknowledgement to this program. We highly recommend to submit a paper to the 2024 IEEE Ukrainian Microwave Week (UkrMW).
Grant recipients are individually responsible for all tax payments if any are needed.
Grant Program Coordinator: Dr. Mykhaylo Balaban, balaban@ieee.org.ua

Proposals which are related to “Technical Original Research” will be evaluated based on scientific excellence as well as the usual principles of diversity and inclusion. Proposals which are related to “Historical Milestones” will be evaluated based on the historical significance of particular achievements and the possibility of forming an application for IEEE Milestone.

The call for proposals is open to researchers who:
– hold a position or study at Ukrainian Research Institute or University;
– has permanent residence (reside and staying) in Ukraine for period of project; time for short-term training or participation in foreign conferences is not taken into account;
– propose research in the field of microwave, antennas and radars.

The period of the projects is 12 months. The final report must be submitted to the Grant Program Coordinator within the last month of the project duration. Alternatively, the final report can be replaced by one or more peer-reviewed scientific paper publications with acknowledgement to this program. We highly recommend to submit a paper to the 2024 IEEE Ukrainian Microwave Week (UkrMW).

Grant recipients are individually responsible for all tax payments if any are needed.

If the applicant is not a member of the IEEE already, the applicant should include membership in the budget of the grant. In such case, the applicant should create IEEE account on the IEEE website to receive a membership number (free of charge).

Diversity (gender, age, geographical origin, etc.) is positively considered in the evaluation. All information and documents required for the application must be in English. Please, download the application form for individual grants: https://ieee.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IEEE_UkrMW_Grant.docx

IEEE Ukraine Section OpCom message: IDAACS and IDAACS-SWS

Dear Sir/Madam,

Due to the fact that the volunteer teams of the IDAACS and IDAACS-SWS conferences prefer to work on their own rules, the IEEE Ukraine Section and its Chapters will stop providing financial sponsorship (organizing) for those conferences after 2023. Technical sponsorship will be provided only for conferences organized on the territory of Ukraine on a fee basis.

IEEE Ukraine Section pay attention that will approve the sponsorship of the IEEE Ukraine Section IM/CIS Societies Joint Chapter for the 2023 IDAACS conference as an exception.

This letter of decision will be posted on the conference websites as well as on the Section website.

Best Regards,
IEEE Ukraine Section Operation Committee
Chair: Ievgen Pichkalov
Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect: Iryna Ivasenko

IEEE Ukraine Section Call for Volunteers/Conferences

Dear IEEE Ukraine Section Members,

For organization of the IEEE Ukraine Section and its Subunits Conferences, the recruitment of volunteers to the Organizing Committees is announced. To apply, please fill out the form: https://forms.gle/Kj5BgqZn2mQwBw9r5

After the IEEE Ukraine Section and its Subunits approve the Organizing Committee, the volunteers indicated in the form will receive a notification by email.

Please pay attention to the following:
– Dates and venues must be submitted for 5 – 10 next conferences (mandatory for 2023 – 2028, and optionally for 2029 – 2033). MoUs will be registered as one document for all Conferences. The next Conferences will be registered one at a time, after each of the scheduled will finished.
– Please provide information about OrgCom Chair, TPC Chair, Publication Chair, Financial Chair.
– The Chair of the Organizing Committee must be an IEEE member. During wartime, only OrgCom Chair position is necessarily connected with membership. After wartime, TPC Chair, Publication Chair, Financial Chair positions will also be linked to an IEEE membership requirement.
– The website and official conference email must be hosted by ieee.org.ua
– Conference paper management system are also located exclusively on a single IEEE Ukraine Section platform for all conferences.
– Some particular technical topics may be included in the Conference program if the relevant technical Section sub-units (chapters) have agreed to sponsor the Conference or if the Ukraine Section has granted an exception.
– All conferences are divided into three basic types. Flagship general, flagship technical and university weeks. The main flagship conference is UKRCON, it is held in odd-numbered years, each time in different cities. The conference is aimed at unifying the entire IEEE community in Ukraine. Flagship technical conferences (for example, IEEE Ukrainian Microwave Week) are held in even years, each time in different cities. This type of conference serves as a boost for the specific IEEE Ukraine tech communities. IEEE University Weeks are organized independently or by combining IEEE conferences and are aimed at creating and strengthening the IEEE community within Universities. It can be no more than two Weeks at Universities (for example, spring and autumn). However, it is preferable to have one Week per University.
– Conferences from the list do not pay registration fees for technical sponsorship to the IEEE and to the IEEE Ukraine Section. Ownership of those conferences belong to IEEE. Those conferences create the basic event architecture for IEEE Ukraine Section and its Subnits.
– You did not find a suitable conference in the list? You can propose a new conference. However, please note that we do not include duplicate conferences in our list of IEEE Ukraine conferences. Also we do not create more than two Weeks at Universities. In some cases, the conference may not be included in the list of the IEEE Ukraine Section, but receive technical sponsorship from IEEE Ukraine Section upon payment of all necessary TS fees. Also note that a new conference proposal should be at least 18-24 months before the proposed conference date.
– Regular communication and reporting will be established between the Organizing Committees and the IEEE Ukraine Section Conference Coordination Committee.
– Conference Oversight Committee consists of representatives of the IEEE Financial Sponsors.
– IEEE Ukraine Section and its chapters, as well as other subunits, were created to unite IEEE members and conduct activities on the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, all conferences are held on the territory of Ukraine. As an exception, it is also very rarely possible to schedule some conferences to be held abroad. Such circumstances should be discussed 18-24 months before the expected date of the conference. Negotiations with representatives of the IEEE Section from foreign locations are conducted by the IEEE Ukraine Section. The final decision is made by the IEEE Ukraine Section OpCom.

Best regards,
IEEE Ukraine Section OpCom
