Statement If elected I intend to concentrate my work towards the needs of electronic industry – among the Division I organizational units we need more profound understanding and actions towards strengthening, extending and establishing possible new links between industry and academia under the leadership of IEEE. We will deliver a plan to introduce new areas of science and technology into IEEE scope, just to mention some emerging topics in geosciences, agriculture, chemistry or economics, bringing fantastic new applications improving our lives. Specifically, electronic waste generation and management, environment-aware design, concepts of participatory design, life cycle engineering, compassionate business and sustainability come into the picture. We have to work towards better utilization of resources, improvement of designs towards reuse of materials, and creating new curricula for studies directed to better educate the next generation of engineers/scientists and raise awareness of the above mentioned problems to develop new and efficient solutions. I am dedicated to bring these themes to the direct attention of IEEE leadership and activities. I have the knowledge, experience, and commitment to pursue this vision. 19
