NextCom is a committee formed by the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) to support and guide students, early career researchers, and young professionals along their way to becoming the next generation of established control systems engineers and researchers.
We aim at:
Enhancing the bottom-up feedback capabilities within the Control Systems Society.
Fostering international collaboration and promoting diversity among students, early career researchers, and young professionals.
Helping students, early career researchers, and young professionals to learn, grow and connect in their research community.
We organize awesome events tailored particularly for students and young researchers at key IEEE CSS conferences including CDC, ACC, ECC, and CCTA. Stay tuned on these awesome activities! 😀
CDC 2023 Launch Breakfast Attendees with Prof. Philip E. Paré in the middle.
This committee was formed in a breakfast organized by Philip E. Paré (Phil) at the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) 2023 and supported by the CSS Executive Committee. Inspired by the success of the IEEE Computer Society's SYP Committee in increasing community engagement, Phil proposed the formation of NextCom to the CSS Executive Committee (ExCom) and got approved. Invitees for the breakfast were pulled from the CDC 2023 Student Support Programs applicants and the Meet the Faculty Candidate Poster Session registrants. Meet the NextCom leadership team!
NextCom is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion through welcoming and supporting those who have been underrepresented in CSS and the broader IEEE community through its mission to help students, early career researchers, and young professionals become the next generation of established control systems engineers and researchers through our mission.
