Technical
Committees (TC's) provide a core activity of the SMC society.
Through partcipation in TC's, members with similar interests
get to know each other, cooperate in organising sessions
and/or special workshops, and join efforts towards publications.
Participation in TC's is an excellent way to build up a
network, get involved in society activities, and increase
individual visibility among colleagues!
The TC structure has recently been updated. The society
has now 16 active Committee's, see the list and contact
information below.
Participation is open to all who would like to contribute
and join efforts with colleagues, just contact the committee
chair, coordinating chair or VP technical Activities.
In addition to strengthening existing committee work, the
Society strongly encourages initiatives for new committees
in any field belonging to the society's interest. For more
information, contact me at thissen@tpm.tudelft.nl.
