UBIGIoT “Ultra-Low Design-Effort, Energy-Efficient, and Battery-Indifferent Sensor Node for the Green Internet of Things” is an EU MSCA staff exchange program (ID: 10101086359) intended to substantially enhance the energy efficiency of an IoT sensor node by a synergetic approach targeting both multisource harvesters and System-on-Chip (SoC) design. The latter aims for a comprehensive approach in which macroblocks of different natures are designed by exploiting at most an automated (digital) design flow.
Its effectiveness will be verified and validated with demonstrators of industrial interest. The project targets to be innovative, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral across academics, an EU-based semiconductor company and partners from the ASEAN (East Asia) and Lebanon.
ECS4DRES is a European project involving 27 partners from 5 countries, funded by the Chips Joint Undertaking (grant agreement no. 101139790) and by Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Slovakia.
ECS4DRES aims to deliver a set of interoperable mature solutions centred around energy conversion and management for Distributed Renewable Energy Systems, by designing, developing, and implementing the necessary electronic hardware and software components and systems. This includes the development of hardware (including power converters and their control systems, sensor and monitoring systems and their integration), algorithms and software tools (including control techniques for DRES and at grid level, local balance between energy production and consumption in microgrids, by taking advantage from AI), communication techniques (including applications of 5G and wireless extensions of power line communications).
H-HOPE (Hidden Hydro Oscillating Power for Europe) is a Horizon Europe project (Grant agreement ID: 101084362) aimed at developing and demonstrating innovative and sustainable energy harvesting systems capable of recovering hidden hydro energy from existing piping systems, open streams and open channels. H-Hope will set the stage for a market of Energy Harvesters, which will digitalize remote dispersed sensor networks, allowing real-time monitoring, reducing maintenance costs and improving management. As a result, managers will also be able to operate their water and energy systems more efficiently, potentially saving energy and costs.
The IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (https://eps.ieee.org/) is the leading international forum for scientists and engineers engaged in the research, design and development of revolutionary advances in microsystems packaging and manufacturing.
Its objectives are scientific, literary, and educational in character. The Society strives for the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical and electronics engineering and of the allied arts and sciences, and the maintenance of a high professional standing among its members and others and with special attention of such aims within the field of interest of the Society.
The EPS promotes close cooperation and exchange of technical information among its members and others through technical conferences and workshops, peer-reviewed publications, and collaboration with other organizations.
It is one of 38 technical Societies within the IEEE.


The Power Electronics Society is one of the fastest growing technical societies of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). For over 20 years, PELS has facilitated and guided the development and innovation in power electronics technology. This technology encompasses the effective use of electronic components, the application of circuit theory and design techniques, and the development of analytical tools toward efficient conversion, control and condition of electric power. Our members include preeminent researchers, practitioners, and distinguished award winners. IEEE PELS Publishes the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, a top referenced journal among all IEEE publications.
