A suggestive list of technical achievements in IEEE's fields of interest which might be suitable for proposal as milestones. The Region number where the achievement took place is shown. This is by no means all of them, nor does an appearance on this list guarantee approval. Please feel free to suggest others to [mailto:ieee-history@ieee.org ieee-history@ieee.org] -- or even better -- [[Milestone Guidelines and How to Propose a Milestone|propose]] an achievement as a milestone. Please consult the '''[[Milestone Guidelines and How to Propose a Milestone|Milestone Guidelines]] '''for more information on the milestone process | A suggestive list of technical achievements in IEEE's fields of interest which might be suitable for proposal as milestones. The Region number where the achievement took place is shown. This is by no means all of them, nor does an appearance on this list guarantee approval. The technical area/society given is for suggestion only; it does not restrict the achievement to that society. Multiple societies may cosponsor milestone proposals.

Last updated: | There is also a [http://ethw.org/Milestones:List_of_Milestones_by_Region list according to regions] of milestones which have already been dedicated. | ||
Australian IEEE Members have created a [https://ethw.org/Possible_Milestones_for_Australia list of important technological events in Australia] some of which might also be appropriate for proposal. | |||

Revision as of 16:03, 24 January 2020
A suggestive list of technical achievements in IEEE's fields of interest which might be suitable for proposal as milestones. The Region number where the achievement took place is shown. This is by no means all of them, nor does an appearance on this list guarantee approval. The technical area/society given is for suggestion only; it does not restrict the achievement to that society. Multiple societies may cosponsor milestone proposals. Please feel free to suggest others to ieee-history@ieee.org -- or even better -- propose an achievement as a milestone. Please consult the Milestone Guidelines for more information on the milestone process.
There is also a list according to regions of milestones which have already been dedicated.
Australian IEEE Members have created a list of important technological events in Australia some of which might also be appropriate for proposal.
