Scholarships - ISA

,for more details on applying.

The ISA scholarship endowment was established in 2002 by voluntary contributions from ISA and significant support of ISA’s technical divisions. ISA’s members have long recognized the value in education, and awarding scholarships to deserving individuals is one of the ways we support ISA’s mission of empowering the global automation community through standards and knowledge sharing.

Recipients of awards are full-time college or university students in either a 2-year, 3- or 4-year Undergraduate or Graduate program with at least a passing average (“C”). Students should be enrolled in a full time program in automation and control or a closely related field in the next calendar year after the award is granted.

Each scholarship is a one-time payment and is not paid annually to the recipient. However, a previous recipient may apply for another scholarship award. 

Scholarships are awarded through ISA and the Huston, Wilbanks and Ives endowments. Students complete a single application and are considered for all scholarships in which they are eligible.

Los invitamos cordialmente al workshop ISA-88 que se realizará el lunes 8 de septiembre a las 19:00 (hora Argentina) a través de Jitsi. En esta charla exploraremos los fundamentos y beneficios de la norma ISA-88, que brinda una metodología integral y modular para diseñar, gestionar y controlar procesos “batch” en una amplia gama de industrias. A continuación, algunos puntos clave del evento:

• Propósito de ISA-88: Promueve la creación de sistemas de control de procesos batch interoperables y reutilizables. Para ello, desacopla el conocimiento de la fabricación de productos, que se almacena en recetas de manufactura, de las capacidades del equipamiento disponible.

• Estructura modular:  Las recetas se definen jerárquicamente y en módulos. Así, éstas se pueden crear y modificar fácilmente, sin necesidad de realizar cambios en el sistema de control.

• Reutilización de recetas: Permite crear bibliotecas de recetas maestras y procedimientos reutilizables. Así, la fabricación de nuevos productos se diseña combinando módulos ya existentes. Las recetas resultan más flexibles, reutilizables y mantenibles, se simplifica su validación y se pueden transportar de un ambiente industrial a otro.

• Aplicaciones prácticas: Casos en las industrias de alimentos, bebidas, de biomanufactura, farmacéutica, química y cosmética muestran cómo se logra consistencia, trazabilidad y calidad, incluso en líneas con múltiples productos.
  
  

• Beneficios en automatización: Aporta flexibilidad, escalabilidad y registros de “batch” completos, necesarios para trazabilidad y cumplimiento de restricciones regulatorias. Además, estandariza interfaces, reduce errores y costos, optimizando la producción.
  
  

¡No te pierdas esta oportunidad para profundizar en ISA-88! Te esperamos el lunes 8/9 a las 19:00 por Jitsi para compartir conocimientos y casos de éxito.

Te esperamos en https://meet.jit.si/ISA_SEC_ARGENTINA

🌟 About the Talk:
In today’s Industry 4.0 landscape, automation systems rely heavily on robust and secure networking infrastructure. However, networking is often treated as an afterthought during OT and industrial automation project design—leading to delays, inefficiencies, and security
vulnerabilities.

This session will focus on identifying the common gaps between networking, OT security,
and automation. We’ll explore real-world challenges, best practices, and how early-stage network planning—alongside industrial-grade solutions—can improve system reliability, ensure seamless communication between devices, and strengthen cybersecurity in industrial environments.

Whether you're a system integrator, automation engineer, or plant IT manager, this talk will
help you better understand the value of aligning networking with automation design from day
one.
