Hi, all,

We've been asked by the IEEE to identify technical experts within your 
Committee who can speak to the media on various ?hot topics? around the 
globe.

The remainder of this message is from the IEEE.

If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please 
contact Xiaoming Fu <fu at cs.uni-goettingen.de> with information on your 
background and areas of expertise from among the list below.

Thanks,

Joe

Some examples are:

?        Sustainable energy: nuclear, wind, solar, green transportation, 
biofuels

?        Sustainable world: oceanic engineering, waste and pollution, 
e-waste, recycling, earth observation, GPS

?        Healthcare: biomedical, telemedicine, bioelectrics, 
nano-biotechnology, neuroengineering

?        Consumer electronics/gaming: mobile technology, sustainable 
electronics, intelligent transportation, robotics, batteries and power 
supply, gaming, multimedia, augmented and virtual reality, wearable 
technology

?        Engineering education: global workforce, women in engineering, 
accreditation, lifelong learning, education and technology

?        Information technology: cloud computing, security and privacy, 
networking, cybersecurity, sensors, green communications, digital 
devices, data connectivity, wireless

The initial efforts are focused in 7 countries:  Brazil, China, India, 
Japan, South Korea, the UK, and the US. We envision their participation 
to include one or more of the following activities:
?        Participating in media opportunities;
?        Contributing/drafting articles to be published in industry 
publications;
?        Tapped for speakerships, press seminars, and media engagements
?        Featured on the IEEE.org website and in IEEE press releases;
?        Recommending additional subject matter technical experts, 
and/or tie-in events.

These technical experts need to fit the following criteria:
?        They can ?drill down? on the subject matter
?        They are comfortable speaking to the media

Our ultimate goal is to expand our existing Technical Experts Database 
to ensure that IEEE can quickly respond to hot issues and showcase our 
leadership in these areas.
