IEEE PROGRESS Workshop at ICIP 2023

PROGRESS is designed to inspire and prepare women and underrepresented minorities to pursue academic careers in signal processing.

Graduate, and undergraduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, interested in academic careers will be able to ask questions and find valuable resources as they pursue a successful vocation in academia. What does it take to be successful? How do you find the best position? Why would you choose this vocation?

Attend PROGRESS and discover what a career in academia can offer you.

Is this your first time attending PROGRESS? You will experience a unique environment, inspiring talks, Q&A sessions, and professional development sessions to discuss success in academic careers.

Have you attended PROGRESS previously? You will experience a new and different design of the program with new speakers and follow-up sessions, new professional development activities, and often staged interviews. In follow-up sessions, you will gain additional information complementing what you learned in previous PROGRESS events.
