It represents IT societies from 56 countries or regions, covering all five continents, with a membership exceeding half a million individuals. The federation brings together more than 3,500 scientists, both from academia and industry, distributed in over 101 working groups that are part of 13 technical committees. Its extensive influence and global recognition consolidate IFIP as the most prestigious and leading entity in the world of ICT.

The IFIP’s TC13 is the committee dedicated to the forefront of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) technology. Its mission is to promote research and the application of knowledge, models, and methods that assist in the creation of interactive systems that are user-centered.

The appointment of Lourdes Moreno places her in a strategic position to foster synergies between the Association for Human-Computer Interaction (AIPO) and the IFIP. In this way, it aims to promote collaboration and communicative exchange regarding trends and initiatives being developed in the international context and Spain, in the field of HCI.
