The first Central European Student Branch Congress took place from 13-15 May 2010 at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. The event was attended by more than 40 participants from seven countries and has been organized by the Student Branch JKU Linz.

Workshops and talks covering intelligent music processing, patent law, energy issues and social/professional skills were accompanied by social events. The participants used the opportunity to exchange their know-how of shaping a successful student branch.

One of the highlights of our event was the guided tour of the ARS Electronica Center, the museum of the future.

During the party night every participant was invited to state two comments on „I am an engineer/IEEE because…“. The resulting video is available on the conference webpage www.ceusbc.org (coming soon).

As members of the recently established student branch JKU Linz, we are proud that we were given the opportunity to organize this successful event.

We are looking forward to meeting the dedicated representitives again at the next SBC and CEuSBC, respectively :)
