The RTSI (Research and Technologies for Society and Industry) forum aims to bring together researchers and industry professionals in the technical fields covered by IEEE in order to:

• promote and strengthen partnerships and cooperation between academia and industry;
• increase understanding and awareness of how engineering and technology can have a positive impact on quality of life;
• promote discussion between the research community and government agencies on effective and successful research policies;
• disseminate the latest progress, discoveries and innovative applications;
• promote cooperation between researchers working in different fields of research.

RTSI offers tutorials, panels, technical sessions, special sessions, workshops, student forums, competitions and an exhibition.
RTSI provides an excellent opportunity for companies involved in the technical fields covered by the IEEE to present their activities, meet the different stakeholders and contribute to the national and international debate on what is happening relevant in these areas.
