Anyone interested in Control Engineering may become an IFAC Affiliate. IFAC Affiliates receive the IFAC Newsletter free of charge. The Newsletter contains information about IFAC technical meetings as well as about other matters of interest to the control community. IFAC Affiliates will also receive Calls for Papers for technical meetings in their selected areas of interest and are entitled to a special rate for subscriptions to the IFAC Journals Automatica, Control Engineering Practice, Annuals Review in Control, Journal of Process Control, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

You can register as an IFAC Affiliate using the ON-LINE REGISTRATION FORM. Printed forms can be requested from the IFAC Secretariat, and are also available at all IFAC technical meetings.

For membership in a Technical Committee, 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, with an informal letter of application that is sent to the Chair of the TC via the Secretariat.
• You can also contact directly the TC Chair and the TC members 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 Technical Committees are listed in the IFAC Technical Committees page; their addresses can be obtained from the IFAC Secretariat.
