IEEE Experts in Technology and Policy (ETAP) Forums

The IEEE Experts in Technology and Policy (ETAP) Forum series provides a neutral platform for collaboration among engineers, scientists, industry leaders, and others engaged in an array of technology, policy, and industry domains around the world—to the collective benefit of all stakeholders. 

The IEEE Internet Initiative has convened participants for ETAP Forums in Africa, China, India, Israel and the United States to boost knowledge about technology and its implications and impact on internet governance issues and to improve awareness of public policy issues and processes in the global technical community.

“It’s crucial that these events occur in the regions where innovation is blossoming, so that connections are made between developers of global technologies with experts in the local policy and development landscapes.”

— Oleg Logvinov, Chair, IEEE Internet Initiative
