Memorandum of Understanding with Engineers Australia

On 11 August 2025, IEEE Australia and Engineers Australia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote cooperation between the members of these organisations. This includes through joint activities and exchanging information and participating in standards development. 

IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member, and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch – compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems.

IEEE Region 10 hosts a number of significant events for our region including TENSYMP, TENCON and HTC.
