Young Professionals

Short introduction:

As a geographic group we have the benefit of the diversity concerning professions and ideas. Our practice is to discuss various issues, select and implement the best practices and define achievable goals for the future.

We are strongly encouraged to build a group of young professionals in different fields of engineering. The members may join to such a group, where they have the opportunity to meet other members and exchange ideas through social and informal activities.

The main accomplishment is the establishment and strengthening the connections of young professionals in Hungary. Furthermore we will try to enlarge our network, thus increase the footprint of IEEE.

Membership benefits:

The members belong to a young and enthusiastic group, where they can find new professional connections through its interdisciplinary feature.

The group creates a community of young professionals, where we can establish connections and discuss problems is a much easier and flexible way.

As a member we have the opportunity to get in touch and cooperate with other groups of IEEE abroad, which includes traveling to various locations in the world.

The established connections and friendships will be beneficiary in your professional life later, facilitating the growth of your career.

You have the opportunity to form the activity of the group, as we put emphasis on the ideas of individual members.

As a member you have the right to use IEEE brand and all its benefits, when organizing a conference, workshop or meeting.
