2. IEEE - Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers is a professional
association with its corporate office
in New York City and its operations
center in Piscataway, New Jersey. It was
formed in 1963 from the amalgamation
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers and the Institute of Radio
Engineers. Today it is the world's largest
association of technical professionals
with more than 400,000 members in
chapters around the world.
IEEE produces over 30% of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics
engineering and computer science fields, publishing well over 100 peer-reviewed
journals.

This draft standard defines an architectural framework for the Internet of
Things (IoT), including descriptions of various IoT domains, definitions of IoT
domain abstractions, and identification of commonalities between different
IoT domains.

17. IEEE IoT Enables Discussion &
Engagement: IoT Use Cases
17http://iot.ieee.org/iot-scenarios.html
To really understand the Internet of Things (IoT) requires application, implementation, and
execution in the real world. IEEE IoT recently launched a program to provide the IoT
community an interactive platform on which to engage with use cases, service
descriptions, business models, and reference implementations that will be key to
developing a vibrant IoT industry. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to contribute to
the IoT cause, as well as get excellent exposure for your projects and ideas.

18. IEEE IoT Startup Resources
18http://iot.ieee.org/startups.html
The IEEE IoT Startup Resources enable emerging players in the IoT market to share and
discuss their endeavors with the IEEE community. Use this platform to connect with
community members and discover new innovations in the evolving field of IoT. To contribute
your ideas, we invite you to get involved at upcoming IoT Startup Events hosted by the IEEE
Standards Association (IEEE-SA) and the IEEE Internet of Things (IoT) Initiative.

IEEEmadC (Mobile Applications Development Contest)
IEEEmadC (Mobile Applications Development Contest) is a new international contest
organized by IEEE for all student members across the globe.

24. IEEE Travel Grants
IEEE Region 8 - VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION FUND
Travel support for participation in conferences that are located in Region 8 and
organised or sponsored by IEEE R8 organisational units.
Region 8 IEEE is quite diverse in nature covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East. It is
the fast growing IEEE Region. The average income in various R8 countries differs
significantly. That is why a IEEE R8 Voluntary Contribution Fund (IEEE R8 VCF) was
created. This fund is fed by voluntary contributions donated by Region 8 members. The
money is then used to support members and especially students and graduate student
members with low income in their professional and technical activities.
Member of IEEE R8 at least in a second year.
Travel to a conference sponsored or co-sponsored by IEEE
Conference within the geographical area of Region 8
The maximum amount provided can not exceed US$1000.

25. IEEE Grants for Projects
Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) in IEEE
EPICS in IEEE awards grants to university student groups to work on socially innovative
projects that may address local community-service needs such as access and abilities,
education and outreach, environment, and human services. Projects must be submitted by
an IEEE member and involve a non-profit organization partner. Collaboration with a local
high school is also encouraged. Typical awards use IEEE funding for project related supplies
(as opposed to personnel costs) with award amounts in the US$5,000 to US$10,000 range.
There is no deadline for applications. Applications are accepted throughout the year on a
rolling basis. Apply today and help impact your community.

26. IEEE Grants for Projects
Link: http://www.standardsuniversity.org/grants/
IEEE is offering grants for graduate and upperclassman design project student application papers.

projects with an industry standards component.*
IEEE will publish the results as a student application paper.
Requirements:
Student(s) beginning a design or development project will submit an abstract summary describing the
project, which includes:
– a summary of the project goal (i.e., what are you trying to build?);
– an understanding of what standards are being considered to achieve the project goal;
– a declaration of intention to submit an application paper for publication by the IEEE upon completion
of the project;
– a statement of endorsement from a faculty mentor must be included.
Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the year.
Deadlines for 2016 student grant applications:

challenges and improving the human condition.
Request for Proposals:
For 2016, the IEEE Foundation Grants Program will invest approximately $400,000
to increase the understanding of technology and its critical role in meeting global
challenges and improving the human condition.

28. IEEE Grants for Projects
Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT)
The IEEE Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) Steering
Committee is inviting applications for project funding support. SIGHT groups’ major
goal is to create opportunities for members to devote time and talents to
humanitarian work consistent with IEEE’s Constitution to “bring the benefits of
technology to the entire world.”
IEEE SIGHT will support a wide range of projects, and the level of funding support has
been between US$500 and US$20,000. The first 2015 application deadline for
funding is May 15. Later deadlines will be July 15 and September 15.

29. IEEE Grants for Projects
IEEE Student Enterprise Award
The IEEE Student Enterprise Award provides financial help to Student members who
are looking to implement an idea for a project. It enables IEEE Student members to
work with others on an engineering project, while simultaneously strengthening
Student Branch programs. Topics may be of a technical or non-technical nature from
research on cutting edge technology, humanitarian, and community service programs.
Deadline - 1 February (annually) Funding for the project up to US$1,500.
