Associations, Federations and Special Interest Groups

Aware of the importance of international cooperation for the advancement of science, INSTICC works closely together with several other national and international associations and is proud to welcome them as partners in its activities or to arrange initiatives in cooperation with them.

While several forms of partnership are welcome, INSTICC places special value in "Technical Co-Sponsorships", by means of which both associations support each other from a scientific perspective for their mutual benefit. Additionally, in this case, members of partner organizations benefit from the same registration conditions as INSTICC members.

Current Institutional Partners:

Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication

INSTICC is the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication, a scientific, non-profit, association whose main goals are to serve the international scientific community by promoting, developing and disseminating knowledge in the areas of information systems and technologies, control and communication. It has organized hundreds of successful scientific conferences across the world since 2003, in collaboration with the main international institutions in its areas of interest.

Workflow Management Coalition

Founded in 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is a global organization of adopters, developers, consultants, analysts, as well as university and research groups engaged in workflow and BPM. The WfMC creates and contributes to process related standards, educates the market on related issues, and is the only standards organization that concentrates purely on process. The WfMC created Wf-XML and XPDL, the leading process definition language used today in over 80 known solutions to store and exchange process models. XPDL is a process design format for storing the visual diagram and all design time attributes.

The Italian Society of Optics and Photonics

The Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF) was established in 1991 to promote research and development in the field of optics and photonics and to coordinate such activities throughout the country. One of its tasks is therefore the dissemination of knowledge related to these disciplines. SIOF is the national branch of the European Optical Society (EOS, www.myeos.org)

Canadian Nano Society

Canadian Nano Society was established due to the need of a united community in Canada for students, scientists and interested people who work in various area connected with Nano-science and Nano-technology.

Our mission is to develop an understanding of the Nano-science and technology by connecting scientists within Canada and beyond to expand our knowledge.

Educating students and the public by promoting Nano-technology literacy of students at all levels by providing a respected and authoritative voice on nano-technology issues that are increasingly in the public eye.

Supporting the next generation of Nano-scientists by providing active mentoring, networking opportunities and support to attract the brightest scientific minds to the field and enable them to pursue successful careers as experts in nano-technology.
