Find your local SSIT community through our Chapters. There is a list below, and also you can find these via IEEE’s regional map structure.
SSIT is currently represented internationally by more than 30 Chapters/Joint Chapters spanning 16 countries as listed below. “Chapters” are local groups with an interest in a specific IEEE Society, such as the Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT). A chapter can be “stand alone” (formed with 12 or more interested members) or can be a “joint chapter” with another or several other IEEE Societies. A Student Branch Chapter is a subunit of a Student Branch at an academic institution and requires a minimum of six student members.
The Chapters are expected to hold a minimum of two technical meetings every year on topics in the SSIT field of interest. Please visit our Distinguished Lecturers page for potential topics and speakers.
To contact a Chapter, either send an email to the Chapter Chair, or visit the Chapter’s website/webpage by clicking on the Chapter name (note: currently only a few Chapters have their own website or webpage) or contact the Chapter Committee Chair listed below.
If you would like to form a Chapter in your Section, please review the requirements and the petition process at https://mga.ieee.org/volunteer-hub/geographic-unit-operations/formations-and-petitions.
