IEEE recognizes the importance of building strong relationships with other organizations to help advance technology for humanity. To that end, it establishes formal and informal relationships with global, regional, and national organizations from around the world. These agreements can have many purposes, including:

• facilitate partnering on joint efforts or events;
• promote adoption and/or distribution of standards in different regions or countries;
• encourage closer cooperation between organizations;
• or facilitate coordination and collaboration between technical communities.

These agreements provide a flexible framework for cooperation to the mutual benefit of the organizations. For more information contact the Global Activities Office.
