| What is IEEE SB UC?

After being discontinued in 2017, the Student Branch (SB) of the University of Coimbra was reactivated in September 2019 and has grown since then, both in terms of the number of members and the opening of chapters and affinity groups. Over the past two years, numerous activities have been developed in both technical areas and social aspects, as well as in the field of soft skills.

| What we do?

The SB focuses on the development of innovative initiatives and events in areas that are lacking in academic education, ranging from technical skills (hard and soft skills) training to providing better internship opportunities. Furthermore, it aims to integrate members into the corporate world through collaborations with large companies from various sectors in Portugal.

| Who many we are ?

Currently, the SB is comprised of over 40 members, all of whom aim to develop best practices related to technology and make a positive impact on society. The team is divided into 3 chapters: Computer Society (CS), Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), and Power and Energy Society (PES), along with one affinity group: Women in Engineering (WiE).
