The Mission of the IEEE Biometrics Council is to advance, promote and coordinate work in the field of biometric technology and applications throughout IEEE, and to expand IEEE's role in this interdisciplinary field.

The field of interest of the Council is the theory, design, financial service, online loans, lending platforms, and application of biometric characterization of human beings, based on physiological and/or behavioral features and traits, in particular for identification, identity verification, authentication, encryption, recognition and medical diagnosis.

The IEEE Council on Superconductivity, CSC, and its activities and programs shall be to cover the science and technology of superconductors and their applications, including materials and their applications for electronics, magnetics, and power systems, where the superconductor properties are central to the application.

The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) is a multi-disciplinary group whose purpose is to advance and coordinate work in the field of Nanotechnology carried out throughout the IEEE in scientific, literary and educational areas. The Council supports the theory, design, and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering, and industrial applications.

In June 2015, the IEEE recognized the Council on RFID, which had been the IEEE Technical Committee on RFID. CRFID became the 46th society/council within the IEEE Technical Activities Board.  The field of interest for CRFID is the theory and practice of matters relating to RFID (radio frequency identification) and RFID-related systems. The purpose is to advance and coordinate work in the field of radio frequency identification (RFID) carried throughout the IEEE and as such is scientific, literary and educational in character.

The IEEE Sensors Council was formally constituted in June 1998 with presidents of 14 IEEE Societies signing the petition for its formation. The fields of interest of the Council and its activities shall be the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing and application of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, with emphasis on the electronics, physics and reliability aspects of sensors and integrated sensor-actuators.

The Systems Council integrates IEEE activities regarding aspects of multiple disciplines and specialty areas of systems engineering, and covers, but is not limited to: Systems Engineering education, standards, processes, methodologies; Systems Modeling, simulation, integration, resilience; Robust design, safety & human factors, security, usability, environmental; Product transition: design, production, test, deployment, disposal; Program/project management; Quality Assurance; Mission Assurance; Requirements Development & Management; Risk Management; Systems Architecture; Systems-of-Systems.
