International Federation of Automatic Control

Founded in Paris in 1957, IFAC is the worldwide organization tasked with promoting the science and technology of automatic control in all systems, whether for example, engineering, physical, biological, social or economic, in both theory and application. IFAC is also concerned with the impact of control technology on society. IFAC’s greatest strength is in its people and the volunteers who devote so much of their time to make IFAC function as well as it does. Maintaining the highest technical level of scientific excellence is a major concern for IFAC. This is achieved through the technical excellence of our events, publications and technical committees, and excellence in terms of the efficiency and effectiveness of our secretariat and administrative systems and processes.
