On the date of 13 November 2026, IFAC counts 8317 affiliates in its database. Among them 6844 are people who registered to the IFAC portal affiliates.ifac-control.org in the past three years. The remaining 1473 come from historical data and are people who had some role in IAFC in the past (Chair of a committee etc.).
Among the affiliates, some people are visible to any visitor of the affiliates.ifac-control.org pages (Web Public), some are visible only in case the visitor logs in to the portal meaning the visitor is himself of herself an affiliate (IFAC Public), some are hidden and their profile data is used only for statistics (Private). At this date, the database contains 1654 Web Public profiles and 3951 IFAC Public profiles. Roughly speaking, half of the affiliates share at least part of their profile with other affiliates, one fourth of the affiliates display proudly their affiliation to any visitor.
The affiliates.ifac-control.org portal is gradually improving and increasing its services to the IFAC community.
Among improvements
- As requested by Council in a motion voted on 23 August 2026, affiliates can write their names in their domestic characters in addition to their names in Latin script.
- Lists can be displayed using different lengths.
- Affiliates can provide different emails and choose which are used to receive news about IFAC activities.
- Affiliates can download certificates about their involvement in IFAC, both for their roles in the IFAC structure, but also for their service to conferences.
Among new services
- Display of the IFAC Technical Areas.
This display includes the logos created for each CC and each TC by the social media team.
- It allows quick links to the profiles of the Chairs and Vice-Chairs, to the articles related to that TC activities in the IFAC website, to the LinkedIn posts, to the list of members of each TC, to the list of all public affiliates interested in the field covered by the TC, to the data concerning sponsored and co-sponsored conferences in the field. It also provides the list of keywords used to describe the field covered by the committee.
- Display of the IFAC Conferences.
This display allows the visitor to search for conferences by dates or locations. It allows also to filter only those conferences that are in your personal field of interest.
- For each conference, when available, one-click links allow to go to the conference website and to the proceedings in IFAC PapersOnLine. For each individual conference the sponsoring TCs are listed, the National Organizing and International Program Committees members are acknowledged.
Note that with these updates, the affiliates.ifac-control.org portal describes the technical areas using the updated TC keywords. Affiliates are therefore most welcome to connect to their profiles and update their choice of keywords.
