IEEE has launched the IEEE in 2030 Challenge with the goal of finding innovative, creative, and potentially disruptive approaches that will help engineers and technical professionals working in industry. The IEEE New Initiatives Committee will be awarding small seed grants (US$40,000 or less) to those projects that are selected. Applications may be submitted by one or more IEEE members or organizational units, individually or in cooperation with an IEEE staff group. The proposals will be based on their potential to lead to new IEEE products, services, and communities, and have a significant impact on the overall organization. The deadline for receiving proposals is 1:00 p.m. ET (17:00 GMT) on 15 September 2015. Notification of the proposal's acceptance or rejection will be made on 6 October (IEEE Day). Visit the 2030 Challenge page for more information and to submit a proposal
