Transnational Committee
The Nuclear and Plasma Science Society (NPSS) is a very international and culturally diverse group by sponsoring many conferences outside North America. The Transnational Committee (TNC) has been introduced at the end of 2000 in order to provide a framework for continuous participation in the organizational decisions in the NPSS for the growing membership outside the USA and Canada by developing and supporting any area of fast growing activities in the NPSS technical fields particularly in Asia, India, and Latin America. In addition, there are numerous chapters around the world and our international membership is continuously growing. NPSS strongly encourage participation in all of our Society in activities by our international colleagues, and look forward to expanding our activities into new geographical regions in the future.
Objectives: The main objective is attracting members to participate actively at the IEEE Volunteer work like Conference Attendees, paper Authors, Conference Committee Members and paper Reviewers, etc. It intends to initiate and facilitate the contact between IEEE Members in good standing and the adequate NPSS entity like the relevant Technical Committee, Conference Committee, Editors, Section Chapter, Award, etc. Another service is to provide and possibly train the TNC Members with updated insights about the NPSS Society like Technical Committee (TC) activities, NPSS Point of Contacts aid for Editorial and Award purposes.
