1. About IAC
IAC was organized in April 2005 in order to help promote the globalization of the membership societies by intermediating between them and international engineering organizations. The World Federation of the Engineering Organizations (WFEO) is the immediate subject of such international organization.
The current Japanese National Member of WFEO is the Science Council of Japan but JFES has long been contributing to the activity of WFEO. In 1971, Prof. OSATAKE, Tonau, then Vice President of JFES, attended the third General Assembly of WFEO as an observer and was invited to join WFEO. After returning Japan he discussed this invitation with the Science Council of Japan (SCJ), an advisory organization for the cabinet regarding scientific issues. The Japanese government granted for SCJ to apply for the WFEO membership and SCJ made an application in conjunction with JFES. This application was admitted by the Executive Council of WFEO in September 1972. JFES interrupted the contribution to WFEO in 2003 because of its financial problem but resumed the activity in May 2005 by organizing the international activity committee. It has been supporting the SCJfs WFEO activity since then.
