Technical Communities
IEEE develops communities around particular technology challenges or cutting-edge subject areas. Their areas of coverage may be general in nature, which include multidisciplinary topics or emerging concepts. Discover which technical community best matches your interests. Participation is free for most communities.
There are also many IEEE Society-level Technical Communities available that can be found in the IEEE Memberships and Subscriptions Catalog.
