IFED is an international organization with the mission to stimulate new initiatives in DM and risk analysis for engineering systems. It organizes on a regular basis open forums that focus on specific themes.
Discussion, dialogue, collegiality, and careful framing of relevant issues are the pillars of a successful IFED forum. The IFED format facilitates continuation of discussions during breaks, excursion, and evenings. At the end of each IFED forum consensus conclusions are formulated by all IFED participants together with an outlook for the future. These are subsequently published and made widely accessible.
