RAS financially sponsors around 10 conferences, cosponsors 20 more, and technically sponsors 30 others.  Conference Activities manages this large conference portfolio through two boards.  The Conference Activities Board provides overall oversight on conferences, including planning, logistics, and finances.  The Steering Committee for Technical Programs (SCTP) oversees the technical planning and content of conferences.  The SCTP also oversees the Conference Editorial Board, which is charged with reviewing papers for ICRA.

Conference Proceedings

Proceedings of all RAS sponsored conferences and many co-sponsored conferences are available on IEEE Xplore. Members of universities and other institutions which subscribe to the IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) may be able to download articles through their library website. Others may visit IEEE Xplore, browse the tables of contents of all journals, magazines and conference proceedings, and download individual articles for a nominal charge.
