The Institute Of Engineering & Science(THEIES) is a scientific organization founded in 1975. The THEIES operates engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. New members are annually elected by current members, based on their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. The IES is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members. The IES is an American nonprofit, a non-governmental organization. Join as a member in adding your voice to the global scientific debates. IES Strategy is developed and owned by the IES’s Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees regularly monitors progress against the Strategic Priorities and each year reviews the IES Strategy and makes amendments if appropriate.
Volunteering with IES Volunteering with us is as rewarding as it is interesting and it’s vital to supporting professionalism in engineering and technology. If you’re passionate about the profession, why not join over 4,000 skilled and experienced volunteers and be an ambassador of industry expertise and influence. With busy lives, it can be tempting not to make the time to give something back but you (and your employer) can gain significant benefits from volunteering with the IES. And the right opportunity can help you find new contacts and friends, learn new skills and even advance your career. How you’ll benefit Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, particularly if you’re just starting out at work or are new to an area. You’ll broaden your network and find people with common interests while giving you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills in a safe environment. And working in a team of peers and taking responsibility for activities can give your self-confidence and self-esteem a boost too. It’s also the perfect way to discover what you’re good at, at a pace that suits you. You can work on the things you need to grow in and put the skills you already have to good use. You could offer to speak at an event, volunteer to chair a meeting, or manage a project – all excellent ways of growing your experience outside of work, while contributing towards your continuing professional development (CPD).

There are many ways in which we engage with our Members, and our Members engage with us:
We collaborate in the frame of our various programmes within THEIES, taking into consideration the individual priorities and expertise of each organization to lead on catalyzing, incubating and coordinating impactful international action on issues of major scientific and public importance Our Members nominate candidates for the IES advisory committees and are invited to join ad hoc working groups and task forces on specific topics With regional offices in Africa and the Asian-Pacific region, the voice of science and the voice of our Members is heard at a variety of levels at the science-policy interface in a local, national, regional and international context. The IES aims to bring synergy to the work of other regional workers to ensure that regional scientific communities are fully engaged in developing and delivering global scientific strategy and action.
