It is my great honor to have a chance of stating the expectations of IEICE executives to overseas members of IEICE as Chairman, IEICE International Affairs Committee、on the occasion of the Third Anniversary of IEICE Global Plaza Publication.
First of all, I think it is remarkable in comparison with the other international academic institutions that the number of IEICE overseas membership has been increased year by year so far. Fig.1 shows the trend of the growing IEICE overseas membership. This trend of growth makes us easily suppose that the overseas members in the same region will have more chances to communicate or collaborate each other than before. Thus, IEICE executives have recognized that it would be more important to enrich the overseas membership services or enhance the quality of the services and simultaneously increase the number of overseas membership for more effective mutual communications or collaborations in each region. They also have

discussed procedures to promote or strengthen the academic activities of IEICE Overseas Sections. I hope you will participate in the activities of IEICE Overseas Section which would cover your location and make the best use of available functions and programs of the Section to collect the updated information of your special fields or exchange opinions through joining lectures or symposiums. It is also important for you to propose expected lectures or interesting topics of symposiums to each Section.
More details and contact addresses of the organization and activities of the current ten IEICE Overseas Sections are summarized and archived at :
