THE INSTITUTE The New Initiatives Committee (NIC) welcomes IEEE members, volunteers, and representatives from IEEE organizational units who have an idea for a new program, product, or service that could significantly impact IEEE members, the public, or a technical community, to share their vision with the committee. The New Initiatives program helps get projects started with seed funding or higher levels of financial support.

The NIC is especially interested in programs in these areas:

• Increasing IEEE's connection to industry.
• Engaging and recruiting members.
• Creating innovative educational opportunities.
• Increasing the visibility of IEEE and demonstrating its relevance to different communities.

There are no submission deadlines.
