This area of the IET website provides a portal of rich content produced by IET communities. Each hot topic resource area provides a central hub of knowledge in a specific technical area and is available to the science, engineering and technician community and beyond.

The resources available to view have been produced following key topic identification from volunteers, as well as capturing intellectual property from events which form part of the IETs programme of community events.
