From 9th November to 14th November 2025, I had the privilege of delivering a series of IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lectures across Karnataka, India — visiting Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Shivamogga at the invitation of the IEEE Bangalore Chapter.
On December 11, 2025, the IEEE Communications Society Ecuador Chapter actively supported the XIV Edition of the WiCOM Science Talent Search 2025, hosted by the Departamento de Eléctrica, Electrónica y Telecomunicaciones of the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas – ESPE, at its main campus in Sangolquí. This consolidated academic event continues to serve as a strategic platform for fostering research culture, innovation, and early talent development in telecommunications and intelligent systems.
The recently established IEEE Guanajuato Section Communications and Vehicular Technology Joint Societies Chapter (IEEE COMSOC-VTS) served as a key promoter and main organizer of the Distinguished Lecturer Tour (DLT) of Prof. Gunes Karabulut Kurt (Polytechnique Montreal, Canada), IEEE Communications Society (COMSOC) Distinguished Lecturer. The tour was organized in collaboration with the IEEE Monterrey COMSOC Chapter and the IEEE Guatemala COMSOC Chapter, and included stops in San Luis Potosí, Mexico; Monterrey, Mexico; and Guatemala City, Guatemala.
