Approximate Timeline of Proposer Responsibilities
The following timeline is approximate, subject to change. Please check the website orss.ieee-rfid.org to find the most up-to-date timeline of the current year’s activities. Note that this calendar is mostly aligned to a North American/European academic calendar – but we can accommodate any other academic calendar system (Asian, Pacific, Southern Hemisphere, etc.) provided the local proposer is willing to work loosely within the timeline below:
