The Main IFSA Objectives Are

International Frequency Sensor Association (IFSA)

International Frequency Sensor Association (IFSA) has been founded in 1999. In 2000, it was registered by the Union of International Associations (UIA) in Bruxelles (Belgium). IFSA is professional association and Smart Sensors Network of Excellence, created with the aim to encourage the researches in the area of smart sensors with frequency, time interval, duty-cycle and digital output, including multifunction, multifrequency transducers using new physical effects and principles. IFSA is your connection to the World of Smart Sensors, Microsystems and Instrumentation.

The main goal of IFSA is to provide a forum for academicians, researchers and engineers from industry to present and discuss the latest research results, experiences and future trends in the area of design and application of different smart sensors.

The main IFSA objectives are:

 To bring together the key players in industries and R&D working on mentioned scientific topics and provide platform for the mutual information exchange within those communities and end- users;  To stimulate cooperation and research by providing an appropriate infrastructure;  To increase the number of practitioners and users by stimulating effective links between customers, R&D providers, manufacturers and suppliers to help members improve the market profitability of their existing products and develop new ones;  To establish strong link between R&D in instrumentation, sensors and modern microelectronics technologies as well as working partnerships between industry and academia;  To convert new technology or ideas into industrial design and productions processes.

One of the main IFSA activities is information dissemination. Today Sensors Web Portal (http://www.sensorsportal.com) is a biggest sensors related Internet resource devoted to sensors and transducers, and hosted by Sensors Web Portal, Inc. (Toronto, Canada). It is a concentrator of knowledge, ideas, engineering solutions, information and computer technologies, new physical effects and principles of frequency sensors based on modern silicon technologies. Here you can find and place the information about all mentioned problems, to discuss your proposals, receive consulting and references, find investors, partners for joint research and networking projects.
