We invite all KIT students to participate in this year's IEEE local student paper contest by submitting your undergraduate or graduate work by October 6, 2023. The event will not overlap with this year's signal intelligence challenge, but news on that is still pending.

The last months, we have further planned the prizes you can win, found most of the jury and grew more and more excited to have a look into our students' research. You can hand in your contribution via e-mail to info@ieee-ka.de. Have a look at the details on the Event-Page.

We invite all student members to consider participating in the IEEEXtreme Programming Competition at its 17th installment. IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members (advised and proctored by an IEEE member, and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch) compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. The Student Branch Karlsruhe will host any Teams from KIT that want to participate.

Details:

• Total description can be found on the IEEEXtreme webpage

• Teams consist of up to 3 IEEE Student or Graduate Student members, but can include a maximum of only 2 Graduate Student members

• Date: 25 October 2023, starting at 00:00 UTC and ending at 23:59:59 UTC

If you would like to participate, please contact us so that venue arrangements can be made and a suitable proctor can be found.

We are delighted to extend our invitation to all students to participate in the IEEE Hackathon 2023, hosted by TU Chemnitz in collaboration with the IEEE Student Branch TU-Chemnitz. This exciting event is part of the 16th International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS) and is scheduled to kickstart on the 26th of September 2023. Students are invited to create and realize their innovative and outstanding ideas in the following areas, but not limited to them:

• Impedance spectroscopy measurements

• Smart health and rehabilitation

• Telemanipulation and robotic control

• Green power and smart cities

The TUC International Science Hackathon provides an exceptional platform for students like you to showcase your creativity, problem-solving skills, and passion for technology. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey in the world of technology, this event is the perfect opportunity for you to join hands with fellow enthusiasts, collaborate, and bring your innovative ideas to life!

• Date: September 26th, 2023 to 29th September 2023

We are happy to announce our next Science Spotlight titled Science Spotlight: Medical Engineering. This event will be hosted in conjunction with the kickoff for our local student paper contest.

We will host this event on July 25th at the FZI House of Living Labs Haid-und-Neu-Straße, 76131 Karlsruhe starting at 16:00.

We have a preliminary agenda assembled:

Kick-Off Local Student Paper Contest

We will start at 16:00 with a short introduction into the idea and the rules for the student paper contest. If you are interested in participating in the student paper contest we recommend you attend this presentation and also you can stay after the event and we will try to answer any open questions.

FZI Presentations (Oliver Werthwein M.Sc. & Lara Schweickart M.Sc.)

Following the kick-off of the local student paper contest we will have two short presentations about the medical engineering research conducted at FZI. One presentation will cover the use of AI for analysis and assessment of physical exercises and another presentation will give as an introduction to virtual patient round and contactless recogniction of skin changes in the context of telemedicine.

FZI House of Living Labs - Tour

For an entertaining break in-between presentations we are happy that the FZI will give a tour through their House of Living Labs, showing more of their research in the field of medical engineering. This will include parts of the previously presented topics. We are excited to get a nice insight into the work at FZI House of Living Labs.

Presentation by CEO of corvolution GmbH (Dr. Silvester Fuhrhop)

Our presenter will give as an insight into the work done at the Start-Up corvolution on the topic of developing algorithms and sensor for long-term monitoring of a range of vital signs.

We will provide cold drinks and snacks for all participants and to allow for some cozy Get-Together after the presentations.
