Collaborative Efforts
Fuel the Greece Chapter

T

he Greece IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society Chapter was
established four years ago. It was
the first Chapter in Greece that was
formed by IEEE Members from industry,
and it is the only IEEE Chapter in Greece
that remains industry oriented. In fact, it
was a strategic decision of the Greece
IEEE Section, meaning that the Chapter
was created specifically for industry-affiliated IEEE Members in Greece. Although
there are only around 20 members, it is one
of the most active Chapters, organizing and
supporting events throughout the country.
The Chapter was started in 2010 at
Kefalonia (a Greek island in the Ionian
Sea), when the Administrative Committee
(AdCom) of the Hellenic Silicon Industry
Association (HSIA) invited Assistant Professor Athanasios (Thanos) Kakarountas
to present his idea about forming the first
industry-oriented IEEE Chapter in
Greece. Thanos was the publicity chair of
the Greece IEEE Section and the former
assistant chair (vice chair) of the joint
Greece IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society/
Circuits and Systems Society Chapter.
After gaining experience running an IEEE
Chapter collaborating with the AdCom of
HSIA, the timing seemed right to initiate
the Greece IEEE CE Society Chapter.
After one year, with help from the
Society and Dr. Robin Bradbeer, the vice
president of international affairs at the
time, the establishment of the Chapter
became a reality, and the founding committee originated from industry: Athanassios Skodras (Greece IEEE Section chair
and professor at the University of Patras),
Athanasios Kakarountas (assistant professor at the Technological and Educational
Institute (TEI) of the Ionian Islands),
George Koutsoyannopoulos (cofounder
