ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Industry Connections (IC) program helps incubate new standards and related products and services by facilitating collaboration among organizations and individuals as they hone and refine their thinking on rapidly changing technologies.
The IC program offers an efficient, economical environment for building consensus and producing shared results. Industry Connections empowers groups with a customizable menu of IEEE and IEEE-SA resources to produce "fast-track" content and deliverables such as:
Proposals for standards
White papers
Peer-reviewed guides and position papers
Conferences, workshops and other events
Databases and registration services
Software, tools and web services
Other jointly developed results
Industry Connections Activities do not develop standards. Industry Connections Activities may propose a new standard by submitting a project authorization request (PAR). If the PAR is approved, the standard is developed in an IEEE standards development Working Group.
For more information about the Industry Connections program and its activities email the IC Program Administrator.
