NUCLEAR & PLASMA SCIENCES SOCIETYSupporting our membership and growing our community.

Local ActivitiesLocal Chapters hold meetings for the benefit of local members. These meetings provide speakers from our community and offer an opportunity for technical discourse and networking. Chapters depend on volunteers to organize meetings with the support of NPSS and IEEE. All IEEE members are automatically members of their local IEEE Section under which NPSS Chapters are organized.

NPSS Distinguished Lecturers ProgramThe NPSS Distinguished Lecturers Program provides high-quality scientific and technical lectures on a broad range of topics in the nuclear and plasma sciences. It sponsors the presentation of lectures to NPSS-affiliated chapters, IEEE sections, and IEEE student branches and makes lecturers available to other IEEE entities, NPSS summer schools, colleges and universities.

Women in ENGINEERINGNPSS holds special events at conferences to recognize and support our professional female colleagues. In addition, many conferences provide financial help for childcare so the parents can get full value from the meeting.

Technical CommitteesThe eight different technical communities of the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society have their interests represented by individual technical committees, each of which is responsible for running one or more conferences and in many cases technically cosponsoring others.

Leadership and Representation Our technical and career interests are represented by NPSS volunteers on various external committees. The Transnational Committee helps expand the reach of our activities world-wide.

Membership and VolunteersVolunteering enhances the value of your membership. Member volunteers have more networking opportunities with senior members of our communities and then become those senior leaders themselves.

Humanitarian InitiativesThe IEEE Smart Village is the member-led not- for-profit humanitarian outreach program of the IEEE Foundation. The plan and initiative came from NPSS and PES members with significant Society financial support. It is a three-prong humanitarian program that provides electricity, education at all levels, and entrepreneurship to provide sustainable livelihoods for the world’s most energy-deficient populations. Learn more at http://www.ieee-smart-village.org/

TECHNICAL OUTREACHOne of our conferences organizes a special and free Teacher’s Day for local science teachers, while one of our technical committees organizes one-week schools for graduate students in emerging parts of the world. NPSS is able to fully support these volunteer initiatives.

“At NPSS conferences I met people

who have significantly influenced my

career. I would not be where I am today

without these valuable contacts.”

Stefan Ritt

ONE Membership BenefitEven if your employer has an IEEE subscription, sometimes you need access to NPSS conference proceedings or Transactions when out of range. NPSS membership includes this.

PublicationsNPSS-sponsored publications are highly ranked within their fields of interest, providing timely access to state-of-the-art research.

» IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

» IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science

» IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging

» IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences

» NPSS News

Membership includes unlimited access to NPSS Transactions—essential when your employer’s subscription isn’t accessible.

“Joining the NPSS means entering

a world of professional meetings,

activities, colleagues, and

collaborations.”

Steve Gold

Check out the new IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences—a unique journal covering exciting developments in radiation medical imaging, radiation therapy, and plasma medicine.

AwardsIn our technical fields, the IEEE and NPSS offer many prestigious awards and grants for all stages of your career to recognize and encourage excellence—judged by your peers.

“Volunteering for IEEE NPSS has

provided an opportunity to shape

the future of the IEEE while building

leadership skills which have proven

key in my career.”

John P. Verboncoeur

Young ProfessionalsHelping young careers develop is a specific NPSS goal. Volunteers organize young professional sessions at conferences and offer mentoring opportunities.
