  2. Aims IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO. Its basic aims are to promote information in science and technology by fostering international cooperation, by stimulating research, development and the applications of information processing in science and human activity, by furthering the dissemination and exchange of information and by encouraging education in information processing.

  3. Affiliations IFIP holds a Formal Consultative status with UNESCO and maintains formal relations with other agencies of the UN System During WCC 2002 a joint UNESCO - IFIP World Computer Congress 2002 Declaration on Youth and ICTs was discussed and accepted IFIP is a Scientific Associate with the International Union for Science and maintains contacts with the International Federation of Automatic Control, the International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, the International Federation of Operational Research Societies and the International Measurement Confederation.

  7. Technical Work 12Technical Committees with 80 Working Groups organizing yearly over 70 international events.

  8. At the heart of IFIP lie its Technical Committees that count on the active participation of over two thousand people world-wide. There are twelve such Committees. Each, in effect, is a management team responsible for a given field of activity and for the work of its Working Groups. These groups work in a variety of ways to share experience and to develop their specialized knowledge. These include open conferences, smaller working conferences, seminars and tutorials, circulated papers and, increasingly, as befits our subject, electronic conferencing and e-mail.
