Marko Delimar
Biography
Marko Delimar has been a driving force in improving and extending IEEE influence, member engagement, and governance across the globe. In particular, he has lifted IEEE’s visibility and bolstered its impact in Europe, making contributions that have built a stronger IEEE on the continent and shaped technology policy decisions by the European Union. As the inaugural Chair of the IEEE European Public Policy Committee, Delimar led the development of the public policy initiative focused on Europe, which strengthened IEEE’s position in public policy discussions and increased IEEE’s visibility within different policy com-munities. The concepts he helped create have even permeated major EU policies, including the EU’s 2050 Climate Strategy. In addition to his work in public policy, Delimar co-created the successful IEEEXtreme Program Contest, which has become IEEE’s leading competition, bringing together thousands of students from around the world for a 24-hour event. IEEEXtreme 16.0, has had global participation of nearly 15,000 participants from 65 countries representing 676 Student Branches. As the IEEE Secretary and Chair of the Governance Committee, Delimar in-troduced new education and training programs for Directors-Elect and new officers, improving the efficiency of IEEE governance and the effectiveness of IEEE volunteers. He has also served on IEEE-level ad-hoc committees bringing innovation and modernization to the organization and technology community. His efforts have made IEEE more nimble and better able to adapt to changing environments. Perhaps most important, Delimar has supported and promoted the IEEE Young Professionals program. His contributions across the breadth of IEEE have truly changed the fabric of the organization.
An IEEE Senior Member and HKN member, Delimar is a professor at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engi-neering and Computing, Zagreb, Croatia.
