International Institute for FRP in Construction

The International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) is the only international professional organisation dedicated to the use of fibre-reinforced composite materials (FRP) in Civil infrastructure. The mission of the Institute is to advance the understanding and application of FRP composites in the civil infrastructure, in the service of the engineering profession and society. With membership representing academia and industry from 34 countries on six continents, IIFC offers its members unprecedented access to the state-of-the-art and advanced research endeavours at the cutting edge of the use of FRP in infrastructure through conferences, symposia and curricular development. IIFC hosts two official conferences and meetings in alternating years. The flagship IIFC conference is the biannual International Conference on FRP Composites in Civil Engineering (CICE). In alternate years, the regional Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP in Structures (APFIS) is held. IIFC also co-sponsors other international conference series. IIFC, together with the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) Construction Institute, sponsors the ASCE Journal of Composite Construction, the leading technical journal in the field. Additionally, IIFC publishes the quarterly FRP International, an open forum for its members. IIFC is a close-knit community of researchers and other professionals leading the development of FRP systems, applications, guidelines, standards and codes, and curricular material worldwide. Within IIFC, there are countless opportunities to contribute to these endeavours.
