With great pleasure we invite you to the celebration of the 75 years of the founding of our Department.
To mark this occasion we are organizing two events during the week of July 11-15, 2022: the very first edition of SPEED (Symposium on Photonics, Electromagnetics, Electronics and Circuits) and the Fourteenth edition of SPCOM 2022 (Signal Processing and Communications). Kindly see the respective websites for updated programs of these events. It would be great if you could register and participate fully in these symposia.
We welcome kind participation of the alumni and friends at a special alumni event (hybrid mode) to commemorate ECE75 at 3PM on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. Although there is no registration fee to participate at this special event, we encourage and request all to generously donate to various projects launched as part of ECE75. If you have already made a donation, kindly let us know your preferred projects as listed below using this registration form. We wish to honor 75 senior-most alumni who register and participate in person with a special ECE75 memento during this event. We request you to fill this form to confirm your participation. We will share the link to those express interest to join online.
