IEEE Standards Association Awards Outstanding Standards Development Achievements
The 2020 virtual awards ceremony recognizes notable contributions to standards development in various industries and technologies
PISCATAWAY, NJ, 5 January 2021 – IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) today announced the recipients of the 2020 IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) awards. The annual awards ceremony, available online as a virtual ceremony for 2020, recognizes entities and individuals for their leadership and participation in standards development.
IEEE standards are developed by volunteer working group participants to drive technological innovation, inspire market-relevant solutions, support interoperability, and benefit industry and humanity, all of which make the world a better, safer, and more sustainable place. Innovators from around the world are encouraged to collaborate in standards development and related activities through IEEE SA’s open, neutral, and consensus-based platform.
“Market-driven innovations and solutions have emerged across the technology spectrum thanks to the IEEE SA awards honorees who have dedicated their time and effort to developing a diverse set of excellent standards,” said Robert S. Fish, president of the IEEE SA. “We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to these innovators for their exceptional contributions to IEEE SA’s mission of raising the world’s standards for the benefit of humanity.”
IEEE SA awards are bestowed upon eligible individuals, IEEE SA members, and/or member organizations.
