Report Overview
The IEEE has published its 2025 Social Impact Report, showcasing how its over 500,000 members contribute to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. The report highlights various programs and initiatives undertaken by volunteers to increase public awareness of technology's societal impact.
Children's Online Safety
One key initiative involves shaping trustworthy digital experiences for children online. An IEEE collaboration with Indonesian policymakers resulted in a new regulation to protect children, the first of its kind in the region. This regulation utilizes advanced frameworks based on IEEE 2089-2021 and 2089.1-2024 standards, which provide guidelines for age-appropriate digital services and online age verification systems.
Humanitarian Outreach and Education
The IEEE launched its Mobile Outreach Vehicle (MOVE) program in India last year. This program delivers educational resources to communities and offers communication and technology support during emergencies, such as aiding survivors of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. When not deployed for emergencies, MOVE participates in STEM educational events, including 25 events in 2023.
Additionally, the EPICS in IEEE program provides technology solutions to nonprofit organizations while offering hands-on experience to undergraduate students. Last year, US $290,000 was awarded to 48 service projects globally.
Preserving Technological History
The IEEE Global Museum, developed by the IEEE History Center, presents traveling exhibits to educate the public about the history of technology and its societal impact. Current exhibits include "Unseen Signals: E. Howard Armstrong’s Radio Revolution" and "Microchips That Shook the World."
