Participation

Ways of Participation

IFAC activities are for everyone interested in control engineering research, development and education.

About fifty National Member Organizations (NMOs) are involved in promoting and developing the area of control by organizing technical meetings and by publishing control literature - including, IFAC Journals and Proceedings of IFAC Meetings. 

IFAC can be reached: 

Involvement in Technical Committees

For membership in a Technical Committee (TC), there are different paths:

  • An individual may write a letter to the Secretariat, which will forward it to the respective TC Chair.
  • A nomination may also be made by a National Member Organization (NMO), with an informal letter of application that is sent to the Chair of the TC via the Secretariat.
  • You can also contact the TC Chair and the TC members directly at IFAC events organised by the TC. The TCs usually hold meetings at such events which are usually open to interested participants. The Chairs of the TCs are listed in the IFAC TCs page and their addresses can be obtained from the Secretariat.
