Who we are

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

There are over 409,000 IEEE members in over 160 countries, more than 60 percent of whom are from outside the United States. IEEE members are engineers, scientists, and allied professionals whose technical interests are rooted in electrical and computer sciences, engineering, and related disciplines. The highest grade of membership, IEEE Fellow, is attained through nomination by peers and approval by the IEEE Board of Directors for distinction in the profession.

The IEEE is geographically divided into ten regions, the regions are further divided into sections. Our territory falls under Region 8. In the Czech and Slovak Republic, the IEEE Czechoslovakia Section was founded in 1992.

At the beginning of the 31st year of the section, we started the new website. To take a look at our history, visit the old section website.
