In January 2026, IEEE President & CEO Mary Ellen Randall launched the IEEE Impact Challenge™—as a global call to action to help inspire tomorrow’s engineers and technologists to design a better world for all, and to turn expertise into innovation.
The second challenge, IEEE Response Quest, is now open!
When a crisis occurs, it can be hard for on-site responders to evaluate complex scenarios. IEEE is challenging visionary individuals and teams led by IEEE members to find new solutions that enable first responders to make more informed decisions, while providing an opportunity to work with contributions from data science, GIS, emergency management, software engineering, and other fields.
And, you’ll have the chance to win cash prizes!
