The purpose of this event is to help undergraduate, graduate students, and young professionals gain further insight, enabling exchange of knowledge and skills.

The program will includes technical, professional, educational, and social activities. Sessions will be presented by highly qualified national and international speakers.

The IEEE TSYP is also the unique event which bring several IEEE student branches to interact, to collaborate, and to increase effective networking.

The program also include a competition between IEEE student branches in Tunisia in order to select the student branch which will organize the next IEEE Tunisian Students and Young Professionals congress.

The congress is your opportunity to:

Learn more about IEEE
Network with industry professionals
Enhance your soft skills
Share skills, methods and insights
Boost your leadership skills
Participate in competitions
Exchange ideas, experiences and thoughts

Most of all, just have FUN!

The 5th IEEE TSYP congress will be organized on 17-19 December 2017 in EL Mouradi Club Kantaoui by the ENIS student branch under the patronage of the Tunisia section. The congress is co-organized by the YP and WIE Tunisian affinity groups, the Industry applications, Computer, Communications, and Education societies Tunisian chapters.

Past congresses were organized by all student branches on 2013, by ENIS SB on 2014, by INSAT SB on 2015, and by ULT SB on 2016.

Looking forward to meet you soon!
