Every two years, the IEEE Opole Student Branch co-organizes the International Students Conference on Electrodynamics and Mechatronics (SCE). The goal of the conference is to present the latest research and results of young scientists (preferred students, PhD Students, and young post-doc scientists) related to electrodynamics and mechatronics topics. The SCE gives all participants a chance to share technical experiences and possibility to make new international contacts. Besides, the conference is a good opportunity to explore Polish country.

In 2011, the IEEE Opole Student Branch together with IEEE Poland Section, Poland Section MAG Chapter and Opole University of Technology (assisted by Student Research Group ELEDYN) organized the third edition of this conference. The III SCE was held at Opole University of Technology on 6 – 8 October 2011. The conference consisted of three main subjects: "Materials in Electrical Engineering", "Electrodynamics" and "Mechatronics".

From June, 15th to June, 17th 2011 the group of Prof. Erich Leitgeb (Institute of Microwave and Photonic Engineering, Graz University of Technology) hosted the 11th International Conference on Telecommunications in Graz. The IEEE Student Branch Graz was invited to support them like some years ago (CSNDSP 2008).  This resulted in some work taking care of the technical assistance during the sessions in three lecture halls and the registration desk, protecting and preparing the coffee breaks and assisting the team whenever possible. But: When do you the possibility to join a conference for free and save several hundreds of Euros while getting the complete bag with all conference contents including the printed proceedings, all meals and joining all of the – by the way gorgeous – social events? We were enough students that everybody had enough time to join the technical sessions “just” as a listener and to get in touch with people with all over the world doing some networking… there you might meet the person responsible for your next scientific or professional work! Well, at least a lot of interesting stories and a good possibility to improve English language skills.

The members of the IEEE Student Branch Graz were invited to join a new bi annually held conference for students from all over central Europe. The first edition was organised and hosted perfectly by our colleagues from the IEEE Student Branch Linz (Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria). This event took place from May, 13-15th 2011 and was attended by more than 40 participants from seven countries including Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Slovenia und the  patronage of Eva Lang (Region 8 SAC Past Chair) and Jorge Soares (Region 8 SAC Student Representative).

The 6th "IEEE UWB Forum on Sensing and Communications" was hosted at Graz University of Technology on May 5, 2011. As in the previous years, the UWB Forum (Ultra Wideband) had the goal of bringing together UWB researchers from Austria and the surrounding countries in a friendly atmosphere. This annually held scientific come together is rotationally located in Graz, Vienna and Linz.

Prof. Klaus Witrisal from the Signal Processing and Speech Communication Laboratory from Graz University of Technology and vice chair of the Communications/ Microwave Theory and Techniques chapter in the IEEE Austria section and his team organised this year's edition. As last time the IEEE Student Branch Graz was supporting the event by conducting the registration desk, by preparing the site for the event and other organisational work. Student members were invited to join the scientific sessions covering the newest insights in the field of UWB and the social programme including an excellent lunch and coffee breaks and coming together with some after conference beers.

On January, 21st 2011 a delegation of the IEEE Student Branch Graz (Chair, Secretary together with Student Branch Coordinator) went to Vienna by Car to attend the official welcome session of the Region 8 Opcom Meeting. All officers of the (new) Region 8 Opcom were present and got a nice first impression on the activities of the societies, councils, student branches of the IEEE Austria Section and Vienna/ Austria itself. The event ended with a dinner in a resteraunt nearby with a lot of fruitful discussions. We really had a pleasant time in Vienna and we are happy that we could be part of this meeting!

On October, 14th 2010 a delegation of the IEEE Student Branch Graz (Chair, Secretary together with Student Branch Coordinator) went to Vienna by Car to attend this year's general assembly of the IEEE Austria Section. This was a good opportunity to get in touch with the ExCom and to talk about future events. Representatives from all societies and councils in Austria presented their activities and plans for the future. The official part of the meeting ended with a panel discussion on how to support students. The event ended with a delicate buffet which fortified us for our way back home to Graz.

On Wednesday October, 13th 2010 there was this year's Recruiting Day organized by student groups of Graz - University of Technology. This event started at 17pm in and in front of the assembly hall of the new chemestry building at Campus "Neue Technik" next to Kopernikusgasse. 

This was an excellent opportunity to get in touch with all different kinds of groups and of course with IEEE. Of course there were be some meals and drinks available: Matching to Styrian autumn we enjoyed Sturm & Maroni (and other meals and beverages). If you missed this opportunity to get in touch with us personally, don't hesitate to come to one of our regular's tables, events or contact us via e-mail...
