Engineering a Better World with IEEE Humanitarian Technologies
Take a moment and think about what is humanitarian for you. Are there any community challenges around you? IEEE is supporting its volunteers in order to implement humanitarian projects locally through its IEEE Humanitarian Technologies (IHT) consortium. This talk will explore the role of the IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board (HTB) in creating the infrastructure and mechanisms to apply technology to address global challenges and will discuss how IHT programs are working together to harness the power of technology for good by highlighting outcomes of R8 and HTB-supported projects in the humanitarian technologies world. Attendees will gain insights into the IHT offerings to apply technology and solve the world’s most pressing problems, as well as the future of the Humanitarian Technologies at IEEE and how to engage more actively.
