Support for Sustainable Development Projects and Events

IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC) supports strengthening the capacity and impact of IEEE volunteers, staff, and organizational units involved in sustainable development and humanitarian technology-related activities around the world. To achieve this objective, IEEE HAC facilitates appropriate education and training of volunteers with different levels of experience, builds strategic partnerships to increase impact, supports IEEE Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) activities, and provides funding for relevant projects and events.

Project and Event FundingIEEE HAC accepts proposals to support Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Technology related project activities and events on a scheduled basis.

IEEE HAC Projects – Call for ProposalsThe IEEE HAC Projects Committee will review proposals from experienced teams that (a) are based on consultation with target communities and a clear understanding of the challenges they face (b) adopt a needs-driven approach to strengthening local capacity through technology deployment. Proposals requesting funding between US$20,000 and $60,000 for activities over 12 months will be considered.

IEEE SIGHT Projects – Call for ProposalsSix IEEE members are required to form a SIGHT group but IEEE membership is not a requirement to belong to a SIGHT group. In fact, groups are encouraged to seek out members from other disciplines and sectors.

IEEE HAC supports proposals from IEEE SIGHT groups taking a holistic, community-based approach to addressing local societal challenges, taking account of relevant environmental, cultural, socio-economic & infrastructural issues and policy priorities. Proposals must demonstrate a needs-driven approach to strengthening local capacity through technology deployment.

IEEE SIGHT Groups (sight.ieee.org) can submit proposals requesting funding between US$1,000 and $19,999 for activities over 12 months.

IEEE HAC Event Funding – Call for ProposalsIEEE HAC accepts proposals to support sustainable development and humanitarian technology-oriented events (including conferences, conference tracks and smaller scale workshops). Events that are focused on how technology supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in an impactful way and bring key stakeholders together to share experiences and strengthen capacity will be considered for funding.

IEEE HAC Conference Participation Program – Call for Applicants IEEE HAC will provide a limited number of partial scholarships to support participation at 2019 conferences with a sustainable development and humanitarian technology focus or component. The objective is to facilitate more extensive networking, sharing of experiences and partnership building, and reduce potential economic barriers to participation by IEEE volunteers active in the sustainable development space.
