The IEEE Sweden VT/COM/IT joint chapter is a national branch of the IEEE Societies: Vehicular Technology, Communications, and Information Theory. We aim to maintain and develop the academic and industrial communities in these areas and their relation, with an extra focus on our members.
We organize technical and industrial seminars in varying locations in Sweden with distinguished speakers. These events keep our community up to date on discoveries and trends in our areas and provide networking opportunities. We have also initiated two annual Swedish workshops, The Swedish Communication Technologies Workshop (Swe-CTW) and Workshop on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WWVC), that provide a forum for our members to share their work.
The IEEE societies have recognized these efforts in the form of many awards.
