Society on Social Implications of Technology Chapter

Welcome to the Northern Virginia/Washington/Baltimore Chapter of the IEEE Society on Social Implications on Technology (SSIT).  SSIT is concerned with how technology impacts the world, and with how the application of technology can improve the world.

Our Chapter needs enthusiastic volunteers who can help organize invigorating technical talks and educational activities. Please consider volunteering to give back to your profession. The rewards will be worthwhile and demands on your time will be very reasonable. Please contact Chapter Chair Malek Ben Salem or Vice Chair Kartik Bulusu if you are interested.

If you have any suggestions for topics and speakers, please contact Chapter Chair Malek Ben Salem or Vice Chair Kartik Bulusu.

SSIT’s  activities at Society level include:

• IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, an award-winning journal containing both peer-reviewed and general interest articles.
• The International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS), held annually. Support and sponsorship of additional conferences.
• An active network of SSIT chapters spanning the globe.
• Awarding of the periodic IEEE Carl Barus Award for Outstanding Service in the Public Interest.
• A Guest Lecturer program on critical topics of interest.
• Online discussion of social impacts of technology through forums, website, blogs, and social media.
• Support for members who speak, publish and advocate on SSIT topics within the Society or as participants in other IEEE societies and professional activities.
