Biannually, the student activities committee of IEEE Region 8 organizes a Student Branch and GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) Congress, where around 300 IEEE student branches members, gold members and young engineering professionals from all over Region 8 (Europe, Asia and Africa) meet. Traditionally, this event is a melting pot of a variety of cultures and backgrounds, the perfect opportunity to share technical, social and professional experiences.

Previous editions of this congress were held in Istanbul ('98), Eindhoven ('00), Cairo ('02), Passau ('04), Paris ('06) and London ('08) as one of the biggest events in the world for young engineering professionals and students all aged less than 28 years. Region 8 Student Services encourages and supports local student branches to develop these activities, but also provides opportunities for the students branches to collaborate on bigger scale and exchange experience.

The 2010 edition of the Student Branch and GOLD Congress will be hosted by the IEEE Student Branch Leuven, in Leuven, Belgium. Mark August 4-8 2010 in your calendars, as organization is well advanced to ensure that all participants will have an amazing and pleasant experience!

We kindly welcome you and look forward to see you all!
Best Regards,

SBC2010 organizing committee,
IEEE Student Branch Leuven
