We are delighted with your interest in joining the IEEE MOVE Community Outreach initiative. The MOVE program is looking for qualified volunteers who not only have a deep passion for humanitarian work but also the expertise, wisdom and time to commit in support of the program. We are currently seeking candidates for leadership positions of committees and working groups for our global program expansion. Currently we are looking for volunteers in support of our programs in Puerto Rico. We realize that few people have the ability to extensively volunteer to a program such as ours. It is through the diverse efforts of committee members, each contribution their time and resources as they are able, in a combined effort that allows us to address the many programmatic needs. Information you provide will allow us to appreciate your talents and time so we can best engage you in the program. For more information, you can visit the (https://move.ieee.org/) webpage. Thank you! Co-sponsored by: IEEE MOVE Puerto Rico Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/407879

IT Expedition is an initiative led by volunteers from the joint chapter between the Computer and Communications Society and the IEEE student branch of the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia. This program marks the first time we offer half-day technical visits exclusively for our university chapter members, with two visits planned for this year. The first visit is scheduled for mid-April at the Barranquilla Mayor's Office, where participants will tour various departments within the Secretariat of Planning—particularly the IT department. During this visit, students will have the opportunity to observe operations related to IT support, server administration, and more, as well as receive a comprehensive presentation on the suite of software solutions developed at the Mayor's Office to address urban challenges. The second visit, planned for the second semester of the year between September and October, is to Claro, where members will gain further exposure to industry practices and the latest in technology.

¿Qué es este evento? Este es un taller integral diseñado para acompañarte en todo el proceso de redacción científica, incluso si aún no tienes una investigación iniciada. Desde la formulación de la idea de investigación, pasando por la revisión bibliográfica, el desarrollo metodológico y la recopilación de datos (si aplica), hasta la redacción final y el envío del artículo a una revista o conferencia. El taller está estructurado en 3 fases y te brinda asesoría experta, recursos prácticos y sesiones colaborativas para que avances de forma sólida y guiada hacia tu primera (o próxima) publicación científica. Actividades Fase 1 – Fundamentos de Investigación y Enfoque del Artículo (Mayo - Junio) Aprenderás a identificar un problema de investigación, formular tu pregunta científica y realizar una revisión bibliográfica efectiva. Definirás tu metodología y plan de trabajo. Fase 2 – Desarrollo de la Investigación (Junio - Agosto) Durante esta etapa, desarrollarás tu investigación y recibirás apoyo en reuniones grupales para resolver dudas, revisar avances y recibir retroalimentación entre pares. Fase 3 – Redacción, Revisión y Envío (Agosto - Septiembre) Redactarás, revisarás y finalizarás tu artículo científico con sesiones centradas en estructura, análisis de resultados, revisión por pares y preparación para el envío. Beneficios para los participantes - Asesoría personalizada de investigadores nacionales (Bolivia) e internacionales (Ecuador, Chile y Brasil). - Acompañamiento durante todo el proceso, desde la idea inicial hasta el artículo final. - Revisión general guiada por profesionales, con retroalimentación constructiva entre participantes. - Desarrollo completo de un artículo científico publicable, incluso si partes desde cero. Importante: Durante el taller se brindarán todas las herramientas, guías y espacios necesarios para avanzar, pero el resultado final dependerá del compromiso y constancia de cada participante en ejecutar las tareas a tiempo y aplicar lo aprendido.
