8. How ISBIR covers the world

9. Matching of Local Expectations Global Company ISBIR Local Student Contacts (LSC) Local Officers Local Steps Companies determine their prior countries Give the corresponding local office contacts ISBIR reach related Local Student Contacts Local meeting arranged to share mutual expectations Local cooperation items determined and reported Local Matching Platform

10. Collaboration Example: Microsoft R8 SBC 2008 Micosoft HQ Reaching 6 prior MS Local Offices Jordan Matching each MS Local Officers with ISBIR Local Student Contacts ISBIR Task Force 19 positions from 10 different countries IEEE HQ MSDN AA Free Software Opportunity for IEEE Student Members S2B Spain India Nigeria Portugal Singapore

11. Success Stories Technical and Equipment Support for the fields of simulation, game development by Intel ISBIR support for placing IEEE student members to Vodafone Internship Positions Vendor Demo Kit Program with Texas Instruments Support to increase Microsoft Tech clubs 83 internship and job positions from more than 10 global companies

12. Expectations Inform ISBIR about local and global expectations of your company Determine prior regions for local matching Start to benefit from ISBIR free of charge such as Announcement of career opportunities and positions Technical collaboration with project groups Opportunity to be involved in hundreds of IEEE events

13. Cooperation Alternatives Guide student to specific technical projects via Demo Kits Access to high-qualified network in a desired destination or university by announcing career opportunities Organize or participate various activities in university campus Start benefiting from IEEE corporate advantages and products
