Each year, the UCL IEEE Student Branch, composed of ICTEAM PhD students and supported by both the IEEE and the ICTEAM, organizes a contest for rewarding the best master’s theses in its fields of interest. The goals of the contest are twofold:

• First, to reward outstanding works from both technical and presentation-wise perspectives. To this end, a jury of researchers reads the abstracts and watch the video of the participants. The three best candidates will receive a monetary reward.
• Second, to recommend potential candidates for an international contest: the IEEE Region 8 Student Paper Contest. IEEE’s Region 8 spans Europe, Africa and the Middle-East. We have had several successes at this Student Paper Contest, reaching the top 3 in previous years. More info can be found here.

It is with great please that the IEEE Student Branch would like to invite to one event with regards to their annually organized company visits !

These visits are organized to connect ICTEAM researchers to the world of professional industries. This activity will attempt to merge academic research with real world industrial problems.

This activity will necessitate an on-site interaction with industrial companies here in Belgian to discover their impressive infrastructure and to be able to interact with specialists in the field.

During this semester, a visit of UMICORE is proposed:

• UMICORE (https://www.umicore.com/)
  • at Hoboken (Antwerp) on Tuesday the 26th of April from 8:15 to 15:00
  • 13 places available
  • The visit will be held in English
  • UMICORE is the biggest recycling company of precious metals in the world. Their main activities are in the fields of recycling, production of materials for rechargeable batteries and the production of catalysts for industrial chemistry. This visit is a great opportunity to be able to see how dependent today’s technology is on precious resources and how hard it is to recycle them.

You can register to the visit via the registration forms below.

We look forward to seeing you there !
Nicolas Roisin, Karim El Khoury and Thibault Pirson

Additionnally, Olivier is one of the many newcomers in the IEEE Student Branch members this year. He will join the seminar team in charge of organizing many exciting talks this year!

This year, the ClubINFO, a part of the IEEE Student branch has many motivated newcomers. This Wednesday November 10th, they kicked off their first event, The INGI Dakar2k21. As the name suggests, it is a race car contest but with some quirks. The contestants must use genetic algorithms to create the car that will beat them all. It is a brand new activity covering an interesting subject, good luck to the participants!
