The congress will feature keynote talks\, technical sessions\, leadership workshops\, industry–academia interacti ons\, research poster presentations\, student project demonstrations\, inn ovation and startup showcases\, career mentoring\, networking opportunitie s\, and IEEE VTS membership activities. With participation expected from 2 0+ IEEE Student Branches and Chapters\, the event will focus on emerging a reas including electric vehicles\, autonomous and connected transportation \, V2X communications\, intelligent transportation systems\, AI\, 5G/6G\, automotive cybersecurity\, software-defined vehicles\, and sustainable mob ility.\n\nA key objective of the congress is to strengthen engagement betw een academia and industry by inviting professionals from leading automotiv e\, semiconductor\, communication\, software\, and mobility organisations. These interactions will help participants understand current industry tre nds\, research opportunities\, career pathways\, internships\, and emergin g technology requirements.\n\nThe congress will also serve as a platform f or strengthening the IEEE VTS student and young professional community by promoting membership development\, volunteer leadership\, chapter collabor ation\, technical education\, and sustainable engagement. Through interact ion with IEEE VTS leaders and volunteers\, participants will gain greater awareness of Society resources\, conferences\, publications\, technical co mmittees\, standards activities\, scholarships\, and global volunteering o pportunities.\n\nHosted by Symbiosis Institute of Technology\, Hyderabad\, the congress aims to create a dynamic and inclusive environment that enco urages technical excellence\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\, professional development\, and collaboration. It is intended to evolve into an annual IEEE VTS Student & Young Professionals initiative in the region\, creating sustained impact by developing future engineers\, researchers\, entrepren eurs\, and IEEE leaders in the field of intelligent\, connected\, autonomo us\, and sustainable transportation.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Symbiosis In stitute of Technology - Hyderabad\, Symbiosis Institute of Technology Hyde rabad & IEEE VTS\n\nSymbiosis Institute of Technology Hyderabad\, Survey N umber 292\, Off Bangalore Highway\, Modallaguda (V)\, Nandigama (M)\, Hyde rabad\, Telengana\, India LOCATION:Symbiosis Institute of Technology Hyderabad\, Survey Number 292\, Off Bangalore Highway\, Modallaguda (V)\, Nandigama (M)\, Hyderabad\, Tele ngana\, India ORGANIZER:saiprashanth08@ieee.org SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Student & Young Professionals Con gress 2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576147 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="isSelectedEnd">The <strong>IEEE Veh icular Technology Society Student &amp\; Young Professionals Congress 2026 </strong> is a flagship two-day gathering designed to bring together stude nts\, young professionals\, researchers\, faculty members\, industry exper ts\, startups\, and IEEE volunteers to explore the future of mobility and vehicular technologies.
