BUILDING A WORLDWIDE NETWORK

Global Relations

As a global organization, PELS strives to establish and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with other professional societies and organizations. As part of this work, we:

  • Foster connections with PELS members who are not affiliated with a chapter, ensuring inclusivity and engagement across diverse geographical areas.
  • Established liaison representatives within IEEE Regions 7-10 to facilitate smooth communication and collaboration.
  • Actively support formal ties with IEEE Sister Societies, Councils, Initiatives, and Communities, thereby promoting knowledge exchange and collective growth within the field of power electronics.
  • Seek to establish and maintain formal relationships with non-IEEE societies worldwide that share common interests with PELS.

Through these efforts, we support opportunities for jointly sponsored activities, fostering innovation and advancing the power electronics field on a global scale.
