Dear R10 Section/Subsection/Council/Affinity Group Leaders
With the initiation and support from IEEE President, Professor Toshio Fukuda, and IEEE R10 Director, Professor Akinori Nishihara, IEEE R10 is pleased to launch the Project REACHING LOCALS.
The project aims to encourage and support IEEE OU’s in Region 10 to reaching out to community using local languages, with activities on subjects related to IEEE’s Field of Interest.
The objectives of the project are:
· To raise the awareness of IEEE’s brand and logo
· To enhance public understanding of engineering and technology
· To provide a trusted source of educational resources and services, and
· To inspire a worldwide audience and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity.
Supports from IEEE R10 will be provided in the following two options:
- To conduct activities reaching out to non-English speaking communities with local languages. Reports will be required by 30th October, 2020. Level of participation will be based on number of events, number of participants, targeted groups (such as students, professionals, affinity groups, life members…etc) and other merits. All participating OU’s will be awarded with a Certificate of Appreciation and the top 16 OU’s will receive funding support of $300 each.
- To develop translations of IEEE resources such as subtitles for videos or webinars on technical subjects in IEEE Fields of Interest, or, translation of existing materials from other IEEE OUs such as IEEE REACH and EAB. The amount of support will be up to a maximum of $1,000 each, on condition that matching support or sponsorship from other IEEE OU or non-IEEE organisations (such as university or industry) is secured. The amount could be used for professional services and to be claimed as reimbursements in accordance with IEEE policy on expenses. Scope and plan of the proposal must be discussed with Chair of R10 EAC and other OU (if their materials are to be used) prior to confirmation and commencement of the project. It is expected outcomes from this initiative will lead to long lasting impact, and subsequent applications for larger grants from other sources such as IEEE NIC and IEEE Foundation. Reports will be required by 30th October, 2020. Up to Five projects will be supported in this initiative.
Examples of activities are (and not limited to):
1) Conduct online webinars, seminars in local languages. An example is the IEEE Engineer Spotlight – Japan webinar series conducted in Japanese
https://www.ieee-jp.org/japancouncil/affinitygroup/R10_Spotlight/
2) Provide subtitles or transcripts of recordings on technical subjects in other languages. An example is the ICRA2019 keynote with Japanese/Chinese subtitles

3) Provide translation for existing IEEE Resources such IEEE REACH, TryEngineering or IEEE TV:
https://reach.ieee.org/, https://tryengineering.org/ and https://ieeetv.ieee.org/
4) Partner with local industry and/or community groups to conduct activities in local languages that meet objectives of this challenge.
Timelines:
Project call opens – 22nd June 2020
Reporting deadline – 30th October 2020
