IFToMM : International Federation for Theory of Machines and Mechanisms

The dynamics and control division of KSME participates in the activities of International Federation for Theory of Machines and Mechanisms(IFTOMM) .

 
Backgrounds
IFToMM is the acronym of International Federation for Theory of Machines and Mechanisms. It aims to increase the cooperation of scholars in machine and mechanism fields. It was established by the European countries in 1996. At present, IFToMM has about 40 member nations, including Korea(which joined in 1997).

IFToMM's main activity is the member congress in every 4 years, along with various meetings held by five Permanent Commissions and 12 Technical Committees. IFToMM-Korea represents the Korean community of mechanical engineers in standardization, education, and publication by participating in various commissions and committees.

Asia Pacific Conferences

KSME is sponsoring various conferences around the Asia-Pacific region.
