2025 年 3 月,IEEE 主席兼 CEO Kathleen Kramer 通过 The Institute 杂志发表署名文章,正式阐述了以"One IEEE"为核心的组织变革愿景,并公布了 IEEE 2025-2030 战略计划的六大战略目标。作为全球最大的工程技术专业组织,IEEE 此番战略调整强调打破学会内部各技术社区之间的壁垒,通过更广泛的跨领域协作,巩固其作为全球技术领域可信赖信息来源的领导地位。
"One IEEE":从分散运营到协同整合
Kramer 将自己的 2025 年执政理念概括为"变革型领导力,成就更好的 IEEE"。"One IEEE"并非简单的口号,而是试图解决这个庞大组织长期存在的结构性问题——IEEE 旗下拥有众多学会(Society)、区域分会和技术委员会,各单元在技术出版、标准制定等领域独立运作,虽然专业深度突出,但协同效应尚未充分释放。Kramer 明确指出,各单元的战略规划必须与 IEEE 整体战略对齐,这是下一阶段工作的关键步骤。
值得注意的是,Kramer 特别强调了"公共使命活动"(public imperative activities)的重要性,将教育、公共政策、气候变化、技术史以及人道主义技术列为 IEEE 集体发力的方向。这一表述表明,IEEE 正试图在传统学术出版与标准制定之外,拓展其在全球性议题中的话语权和影响力。从标准组织到人道主义技术推动者的角色延伸,反映出工程界对技术社会责任的日益重视。
六大战略目标锚定五年方向
新公布的战略计划为 2025 至 2030 年设定了六项核心目标:一是成为科研、开发、标准和公共政策领域可信赖的信息来源,推进科学与技术发展;二是在推动技术创新的同时,强化科学诚信及技术伦理的开发与应用;三是为产业界、学术界和政府提供跨学科技术协作、研究与知识共享的平台;四是激发智识好奇心,支持发现与发明,培育下一代技术创新者;五是扩大公众对工程、科学与技术全球作用的认知;六是通过继续教育、导师制度、行业网络和终身参与,助力技术专业人士的职业发展。
这六项目标呈现出清晰的双线逻辑:对内支撑成员职业发展与技术社区繁荣,对外强化 IEEE 在技术伦理、公共政策和公众科普领域的引领角色。其中技术伦理的明确写入,与当前全球人工智能治理、负责任创新的大趋势相呼应,显示出 IEEE 对技术发展社会维度的高度敏感。
【关键数据】
- 战略规划周期: 2025-2030 年,覆盖未来六年
- 战略目标数量: 6 项核心战略目标,涵盖信息可信源、技术伦理、跨学科协作、人才培育、公众认知、职业赋能
- 组织属性: 501(c)(3) 公共慈善机构,全球最大技术专业组织
- 重点公共使命领域: 教育、公共政策、气候变化、技术史、人道主义技术
对通信产业的影响与观察
对通信行业而言,IEEE 的战略走向具有直接的产业意义。IEEE 在通信标准、学术出版(如 IEEE Xplore)和顶级技术会议方面占据不可替代的地位,5G/6G 研究社区的相当一部分基础性工作依托 IEEE 平台展开。战略计划中对跨学科协作和产学研知识共享的强调,与当前 6G 研究中通信技术与人工智能、感知一体化、能耗管理深度融合的趋势相一致。
此外,IEEE 将技术伦理和公共政策置于战略核心,预示着未来其在 AI 治理、数据隐私等议题上的标准与政策输出将更加活跃。对于参与国际标准竞争的通信厂商和科研机构而言,关注并参与 IEEE 旗下相关技术社区的战略落地进程,有助于在下一轮技术周期中占据有利位置。
组织变革的落地挑战
战略蓝图的落地仍面临现实考验。IEEE 内部结构庞大,各学会历史利益格局复杂,将整体战略"级联"至各组织单元的具体战术目标,需要相当的组织协调能力。Kramer 在文章中也坦言,目前正致力于将六大目标分解为可执行的战术目标,确保各单元工作与整体战略保持一致。
从长期看,"One IEEE"若能实质性推进,这个拥有数十万会员的组织在技术标准、学术传播和全球科技治理中的影响力将进一步集中和放大。对于全球工程界而言,这既是一个专业社区整合的样本,也是技术社会组织形态演进的重要观察窗口。Kramer 已开放 president@ieee.org 邮箱征集成员意见,这场组织变革的后续走向值得持续追踪。

IEEE President’s Note: Working Toward One IEEE
Our new strategic plan emphasizes collaboration and aims to boost members’ careers

Kathleen Kramer is the 2025 IEEE President.
Peter Adams
Transformational leadership for a better IEEE
is how I describe my vision for 2025. Working for “One IEEE” encapsulates the idea of this larger aspiration.
Together we have the opportunity to foster meaningful collaborations that enable us to be much more than the sum of our individual parts. While the organization’s focused technical and publishing efforts are central to our professional success and the advancement of technology, I believe there is also a need to collaborate more broadly, strategically, and effectively, particularly to support the next generation. This is vital for ensuring IEEE remains an integral part of the future.
IEEE is unique not only for its past achievements but also for its immense potential to be a leader in advancing technology for humanity on a global scale. I would like IEEE and its members to feel empowered to act on our mission. The organization brings together leading experts who drive significant efforts in education, public policy,
climate change
, history, and
humanitarian technology
. These are critical public imperative activities where our collective impact is essential.
Our individual motivations may differ—based on the diverse stages of our careers, our areas of focus, and our fields of interest—but we all share a unified mission. Personally, I see myself as an integral part of several professional homes within the “One IEEE” framework—each working to advance technology for humanity yet each serving distinct technical communities and perspectives.
Success is a journey
My own IEEE journey
began when I was an undergraduate at
Loyola Marymount University
, in Los Angeles, where I first discovered my technical community. As a graduate student at
Caltech
, my experience evolved. I was driven by new motivations and opportunities, including my first paper publication, attending my first IEEE conference, and my initial volunteer involvement with technical societies.
As a professor of
electrical engineering
at the
University of San Diego
, my professional home in the city provided me with connections and support for new leadership opportunities.
Throughout my journey, I have come to deeply appreciate IEEE’s unique strength: the vast array of opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the engineering profession while also helping others through our technical resources.
That is what has continued to drive me, whether it be volunteering for my local section and as an officer of a society, attending conferences, publishing, working to advance public policy, or taking on a leadership role in advancing accreditation criteria for university engineering programs on behalf of IEEE.
One of my greatest joys of serving as president is the opportunity to contribute to the global and strategic advancement of our technical communities, helping to elevate their importance on a broader scale.
A new strategic plan
The
IEEE Strategic Plan
2025–2030 provides a North Star for us to act on our long-standing mission to advance technology for the benefit of humanity. Together with the organization’s steadfast mission, vision, and core values, the plan will guide the organization’s priorities for the next five years.
I am pleased to share the
strategic goals
for 2025 through 2030, which are aimed at reinforcing IEEE’s position as a trusted leader in technology. These goals focus on driving ethical and innovative technological advancements, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, inspiring future generations of technologists, engaging the public more effectively, and supporting technology professionals throughout their careers.
From now through 2030, IEEE will:
● Advance science and technology as a leading trusted source of information for research, development, standards, and public policy.
● Drive technological innovation while promoting scientific integrity and the ethical development and use of technology.
● Provide opportunities for technology-related interdisciplinary collaboration, research, and knowledge sharing across industry, academia, and government.
● Inspire intellectual curiosity and support discovery and invention to engage the next generation of technology innovators.
● Expand public awareness of the significant role that engineering, science, and technology play across the globe.
● Empower technology professionals in their careers through ongoing education, mentoring, networking, and lifelong engagement.
Work on the next phase is ongoing and is designed to guide the organization in cascading the goals into tactical objectives to ensure that organizational unit efforts align with the holistic IEEE strategy. Aligning organizational unit strategic planning with the broader IEEE Strategic Plan is an important next step.
In delivering on its strategic plan, IEEE will continue to foster a collaborative environment that is open, inclusive, and free of bias, and will continue to sustain the strength, reach, and vitality of our organization for future generations and ensure our vitality as a 501(c)(3) public charity.
These strategic goals are well aligned with my own priority of “Working for One IEEE” as president. My commitment to all of you—the volunteers and members who are the heart and soul of IEEE—is to empower the success of our technical communities, globally and locally, by sharing and fostering technical knowledge to enhance our members’ professional lives.
I am deeply motivated by the opportunity for transformational leadership—not just for myself but for all of us. Together we can empower success and shape a brighter future for IEEE and the world.
I look forward to working with all of you to leverage the power of One IEEE to increase the impact of our global mission to advance technology for humanity.
