A Symposium on “Telecommunications, Energy, Environment, and Development” was held on 25th of November 2010, at the Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece.
The event was supported by the IEEE VTS & AESS Joint Greece Chapter, the IEEE CAS Greece Chapter, the IEEE PES Greece Chapter and the IEEE Communications Society Greece Chapter.
The symposium was very successful, gathering an audience of about 300 students and academic stuff. The Symposium was a great opportunity for the members of six Student Braches being present to meet each other and discuss: IEEE SB Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, IEEE SB University of Western Macedonia, IEEE SB Democritus University of Thrace, IEEE SB Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki, IEEE SB International Hellenic University and IEEE SB Technological Educational Institute of Serres (the latter two SB’s have applied to IEEE for establishment).
