General Introduction
IEEE Accomplishments and Activities
During my tenure as IEEE Region 8 Vice-Chair Technical Activities (2021-2022), I focused on enhancing industry relations, bolstering flagship conference industry programs, hosting industry sessions at IEEE Africon 2023, and integrating IEEE RTSI as a Region 8 portfolio conference, emphasizing collaboration between academia and industry.
As Hungary Section Vice-Chair and a staff member of Scientific Association for Infocommunications Hungary (HTE), I facilitated productive cooperation between the IEEE Section and local National Societies, enabling joint initiatives. Serving as volunteer lead of the IEEE National Society Agreements program, I ensured effective relations worldwide and shared best practices with IEEE volunteers.
I received the MGA Achievement Award in 2023 for my dedication to strengthening the relationship between National Societies and IEEE, highlighting the value of IEEE in industry relations.
Recognizing volunteer efforts is vital for organizational vitality. Throughout my tenure as a conference coordination committee member, vice-chair of the region, and during my one and a half years as an IEEE Region 8 Awards and Recognition Committee member, I supported committed volunteers for higher positions and nominated them for Region 8, IEEE MGA, or IEEE awards, fostering a culture of excellence within IEEE.
With the conference coordination team, we developed a framework for steering committees for our four Region 8 flagship conferences, sharing best practices and providing support to current conference organizers. As the founding chair of the IEEE Africon Region 8 Steering Committee in 2023, I played a pivotal role in ensuring continuity, excellence, and strategic oversight for Region 8 conferences.
Upon joining the IEEE Conferences Committee, our focus was to enhance inter-regional cooperation, leading to notable outcomes such as the evolution of the IEEE Histelcon conference into a multi-regional event. Additionally, IEEE Region 8 events now feature speakers from Region 10 (Asia-Pacific), showcasing the success of our collaborative endeavors.
