IEEE HTB Best Practices Online Repository

The IEEE HTB Best Practices Online Repository provides access to recordings of a series of best practice lectures organized by the IEEE Humanitarian Technology Board Ad-Hoc Committee on SIGHT Best Practices during 2023 as well as lectures organized between 2016 – 2022 by the Education Committees of the IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee and IEEE Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT). These lectures are valuable resources to be leveraged by all IEEE volunteers interested in supporting local communities through appropriate use of technological innovation, whether by individuals or groups carrying out activities via IEEE SIGHT Groups, IEEE Sections or other Organizational Units.

The IEEE HTB Best Practices Online Repository is currently grouped into resources providing insight into:

  • Community Engagement
  • Applied Technologies
  • Climate Change
  • Energy
  • Health
  • Capacity Building
  • Project and Financial Management
  • Sustainability
  • Social Entrepreneurship

If you are interested in contributing a recording of a relevant lecture to this Online Repository, please write to htb-office@ieee.org.
