GOLD Member Center


 

Welcome to the New IEEE EMBS GOLD Member Center

 
 

The Graduates Of the Last Decade (GOLD) program is an IEEE entity working at providing benefits for young IEEE members after their Student Member status has expired. If you are an IEEE Member who graduated with your first professional degree within the last ten years, you are automatically part of IEEE GOLD. Around the world, there are over 47,000 GOLD members and 100 GOLD Affinity Groups.

The continuing goal of GOLD is to find out what students need from their Society at this particular stage of their careers and how their Society can in turn offer additional value of membership.
