Fifteen years have passed since IEICE decided to set up “IEICE Overseas Section” as the local center for IEICE related academic activities, to support and encourage IEICE members studying or working abroad, especially staying in Far East and ASEAN countries. The fundamental scheme of the Section in the beginning was to reflect the opinions of the members, above all former scholars who have ever studied in Japan, on the internationalization of IEICE, through expected regional leaders. The number of members who registered as the IEICE Overseas Member was small in the beginning, it has been extended to grow over the rate 12% of the all IEICE members at the moment, and the number of the authorized Sections has been extended as well, from four to twelve. The above mentioned name of the Section was changed to “IEICE International Section” by the IEICE International Affairs Committee in 2015, to reform the organization from the viewpoint of matching it to the globalizing academic activities of IEICE. The IEICE Global Plaza set up in 2009 has played a role of fostering the IEICE International Sections through exchanging opinions or sharing the updated information between the Sections and IEICE Societies or Group, further between the members of different Sections each other. This article summarizes the background, current status and the future scope of the IEICE International Sections.
