IEEE ElevateRwanda Sub-section Programme

From 14 September to 14 November 2026, we pair student teams with industry and academic mentors to work on real technical challenges. Mentors and mentees meet at least once every week, with a programme check-in on 14 October, before presenting their progress at the Research Paper Workshop on 14 November.

Registration for mentors and mentees is closed.
