Young Professionals & Student News
 
 

LAEDC Scholarships - Global Outreach Project

30 international EDS students, including 20 undergraduate students from Central America, and graduate students from South America, Europe and North America attended the 2020 Latin American Electron Devices Society (LAEDC) in San Jose, Costa Rica from 25-28 February 2020. Students attended an EDS Mini Colloquiium, poster presentation session, IEEE Electron Devices Society-Engineer Teacher Connection training workshop at a local university, and the full program of the event, including social activities. The participation from students from Central America created motivation among them, membership growth and the creation of new Chapters.

EDS Board of Governors June Meeting
 
 
The World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic. Governments around the world have issued restrictions on travel, gatherings, and meetings in an effort to limit and slow the spread of the virus. The health and safety of the EDS community is our first priority and we are supporting these efforts.

EDS will post meeting details for the June Governance Meeting as they become available. Please visit our webpage for further details as they become available.
