Coordinating and Technical Committees
The Technical Committees (TCs) are responsible for the planning and monitoring of technical events, such as symposia, conferences and workshops, with the NMOs acting as hosts. They also promote their respective areas in other ways, such as establishing contacts with other international organizations, publishing reports on selected topics, etc.
The IFAC TCs cover specialized topics in control engineering. Their tasks, among many others, include promoting interest in emerging control subfields, assuming responsibility for technical meetings (or for series of such), providing for cooperation among specialists of their particular field, etc.
