About Polish Academy of Science (PAN)

The Polish Academy of Sciences is both a corporation of outstanding scholars and a research center comprised of 81 scientific units employing over 9,000 people.

The research conducted by the Academy is primarily concentrated in the statutory range of the activities of PAN institutes. A wide array of research projects is carried out simultaneously, i.e., projects financed through PAN's own means - grants, as well as target projects, commissioned projects, and commissioned target projects. This area is financed by the State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN). A small portion of the research projects is financed by the Foundation for Polish Science, industrial firms, the health services, state agencies, and agencies of local government. PAN scientific units together carried out 1,283 research projects in Poland. PAN scientific units steadily receive foreign sources of financing through participation in topics and projects organized by international programs. These usually entail large undertakings, e.g., complexes of research projects within the 5th Framework Program of the EU, PHARE-SCI-Tech, programs financed by NATO, grants from the Maria-Skłodowska-Curie Fund II, the British Council, UNESCO projects, COST, INCO-COPERNICUS, projects of the Polish-German Cooperation Fund, HASYLAB, and many others.

About IFAC

The INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL, founded in September 1957, is a multinational federation of National Member Organizations (NMOs), each one representing the engineering and scientific societies concerned with automatic control in its own country.

The purpose of the Federation is to promote the science and technology of control in the broadest sense 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.

The primary objective of the Federation is to serve all those concerned with the theory and application of automatic control and systems engineering, wherever situated. To further this aim, it maintains working relationships with other organizations, national or international, especially with other non-governmental professional federations.

IFAC provides a framework for collaboration between those working in automatic control and systems engineering, irrespective of race, creed or colour, or of geographic location, and promotes free exchange of ideas and experts within its professional fields.

The Federation does not become involved in any kind of political activity, nor does it take a position in any such issue.

IFAC pursues its purpose by organizing technical meetings, by publications, and by any other means consistent with its constitution and which will enhance the interchange and circulation of information on automatic control activities.

International World Congresses are held every three years. Between congresses, IFAC sponsors many symposia, conferences and workshops covering particular aspects of automatic control.

IFAC activities are for everyone interested in control engineering research, development and education. About fifty National Member Organizations are involved in promoting and developing the area of control by organizing technical meetings and by publishing control literature - including Preprints, Postprints, and Proceedings of IFAC meetings, the IFAC Journals Automatica, Control Engineering Practice, Annuals Review in Control, Journal of Process Control and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and a number of Affilated Journals.
