IFAC has partnered with IEEE CSS to create a resource for members of the control community to work and collaborate on Coronavirus/Covid-19 issues. To quote IFAC President Frank Allgöwer: “The envisioned idea of such an interactive website is to provide a hub for information exchange, to share ideas and to find potential collabora-tion partners.” Check out the resources available at: https://covid.ifac-control.org

Due to the World Congress not taking place in a traditional fashion all IFAC Council- and Related meetings will be held virtually – using ZOOM.

The 21st IFAC World Congress in Berlin is approaching, and so are the administrative meetings of IFAC.

All the meetings are scheduled during those hours of the day when most participants all over the world are awake: between 1 pm and 4 pm Berlin time (GMT+2, CEST). Mostly in the week before the Congress and in the week afterwards.
