IEEE CSS Executive Committee




Statement from IEEE President Karen Bartleson:



IEEE, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated,
believes that governments of all countries must recognize that, in a world
of increasing global connectivity, science and engineering are fundamental
enterprises, for which openness, international collaboration, and the free
flow of ideas and talented individuals are essential to advancement.

Every country benefits from attracting, and competing for, the best and
brightest scientists and engineers from around the world to study, teach,
conduct and collaborate on research, innovate new technologies, and start
commercial endeavors.  Science and engineering lead to enhancements in
quality of life and ultimately build economic prosperity and security.  All
countries should develop and maintain immigration and visa policies that
encourage, facilitate, and protect the ability of people, from around the
world, to engage in these types of science and engineering activities.



Diversity is an important and valued strength; IEEE is committed to the
realization and maintenance of an environment in which scientists and
engineers, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or nationality, have
the right to pursue their careers without discrimination.  Science,
engineering - and humanity - prosper where there is freedom of movement,
association, and communication.
