Report on EU-AESS Chapters meeting 11-12-2016 May 12-13, 2017 Seattle, WA Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Koch and Prof. Dr. Leo Ligthart

Meeting 11-12-2016 Venue: Mercure airport hotel, Amsterdam Present: Dr. Leo P. Ligthart (AESS international Director Europe) Dr. Heinz Wipf (AESS chapter chair Switzerland) Dr. Mark Bentum (AESS chapter chair Benelux) Dr. Wolfgang Koch (AESS chapter chair Germany) E.M.H.M. Ligthart-Versaevel (report) Extra reports received from Chapter Chairs who could not attend: Denmark, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, France 11/27/2017

Prime problem in EU-AESS Chapters/Sections Insufficient funding for Chapter lectures which are important for knowledge transfer, recruiting new members, and promoting IEEE-AESS Main criticism: AESS members in EU pay IEEE fee but AESS-EU chapters hardly benefit. Zero funding by AESS is criticized, other societies have different attitude. Prime request: Partial (20% to 30%) BoG funding as support for organizing chapter events in Mid- and Eastern-European countries especially.

Actions derived from the Amsterdam meeting (1) 1. Recruiting new members (Wolfgang) In order to illustrate the benefits of being member of AESS there should come a marketing plan. Benefit of being an IEEE-AESS member is access to IEEE- Xplore. Question: “ Access to IEEE-Xplore extended to more societies”? No recognition for IEEE in EU companies and research organizations; no impact for members in their job or salary. IEEE membership can play a role in academia (but more important are the H and Citation index). For EU industry recognition as Chartered Engineer becomes important. AESS chapters in EU may fulfil a platform role to stimulate future applications in traditional and new AESS areas. The applications require challenging technology and system developments. System-oriented approach for these applications is characteristic for AESS. Multi-disciplinary and system-related research is a key future topic for AESS in EU. New ideas: for “critical mass” make a special AESS EU chapter’s linkedin group. Also creating an IEEE + young engineer + industry platform which organizes workshops . Students should get an one year AESS membership for free when they attend the workshop. Ideas to have student competitions should be worked out. Mind mapping about all the ideas mentioned during the meeting will be set up.

Actions derived from the Amsterdam meeting (2) 2. Funding issue (Leo): If BoG is willing to give financial support, EU AESS chapter chairs should prepare a budget overview and present plans how to strengthen EU AESS chapters and how to organize needed regional AESS activities 3. Membership (Wolfgang): With the help from national engineering organizations and support from the BoG, AESS more active members will show up at events organized by EU AESS chapters. Note: importance of building up alliances between national engineering organizations and IEEE. 4. Conferences (Leo): Limited IEEE support for national conferences because (too) many conferences result into lower quality of the papers. Academia may think differently. 5. Creating an IEEE-EU network between the chapters (Wolgang, Leo): IEEE-EU representatives in areas as ICT and Energy, but none in Aerospace Electronic Systems (http://www.ieee.org/about/ieee europe/index.html) IEEE representatives are not well-known in EU organizations. Koch will analyze the options for an IEEE-EU establishment 11/27/2017

Actions derived from the Amsterdam meeting (3) IEEE-USA is unknown in EU, exists for many years and supports USA members in many useful ways including political lobbying for the profession, employment issues like: salary, insurance, career planning, self-employment, consulting networks, industry job offers, and professional networks (see https://ieeeusa.org). Explore establishing IEEE-EU based on IEEE-USA organization (Wolfgang, Leo): Inquire information related to the IEEE-USA organization and find out how to establish the IEEE-EU organization. Apparently, a legal entity IEEE-EU exists in Geneva, Switzerland. IEEE GmbH c/o Fiducia-Intergest SA, rue Joseph-Girard 24 CH-1227 Carouge. However, we have no experience with it Issues mentioned in chapters reports (Leo) Strategic plan shows what has been done, not what could (not) be reached Set up of a federation of small chapters. Leo will discuss first with the EU chapters and then make a proposal for the BoG. Attending lectures of 1-2 hours not attractive when to travel more than 1 hrs Promoting member benefits (see Ignite presentation of IEEE summit 2014) Some chapters disappointed; more visibility by publishing chapter reports on the AESS website as well as the yearly reports by the international directors 11/27/2017
