International Ergonomics Association (IEA) Review of 2023
https://iea.cc/review-of-2023/
It has been a successful year for the IEA with a productive Council meeting in Chile and many projects coming to or nearing completion. Welcome to our new federated society colleagues in Bulgaria and Romania. We also have new sustaining members and formal understandings with partner organisations, new technical committees and a group dedicated to better managing our liaison with the International Standards Organisation.
The IEA2024 Congress is coming up and the first round of abstract submissions has already closed. We are pleased to see the high level of interest in the event and the quality of the proposed presentations. This is an opportunity to learn and network with fellow professionals in the field of ergonomics and human factors. We hope to see you there!
During the 2023 council meeting, we held a series of workshops with the federated society representatives, where we gained valuable information about their needs. This will help steer our course into the future.
We are excited to announce the new IEA corporate image which will be introduced early in 2024.
The IEA webinar series has also attracted a stream of exceptional presenters, participants and visitors to the recordings. Some educators have used these as resources in their courses, which especially pleases us. New ones are in the pipeline for 2024. Our media team has worked tirelessly to keep the NewsBriefs and online information flowing. You can subscribe to the NewsBriefs on the homepage of this site.
The international networking and support of new HFE education programs have continued to bear fruit, particularly in Latin America but also in South East Asia.
There are a lot of other projects nearing completion by our very dedicated team of standing committee chairs and co-chairs and the ad hoc chairs. These are too numerous to mention in detail here but no less exciting and important.
Please think about proposing colleagues for the 2024 awards, which close in January as we will present them at IEA 2024.
We wish you a safe, healthy and productive year ahead (all of which are core aims of HFE!)
The IEA Executive team.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
IEA ANNUAL COUNCIL MEETING
https://iea.cc/download/625/newsbriefs/142706/october-2023-newsbriefs.pdf
On October 18th and 19th representatives of the federated and affiliated societies that make up the governing body of the IEA met for the annual Council meeting. The meeting was hosted by the Chilean Ergonomics Society, SOCHERGO, and the network of South American ergonomics societies, ULAERGO, who held a combined congress immediately afterward with the theme Inclusion and Diversity. The Council meeting was a hybrid event allowing the members who were not able to participate in person to participate online.
During the meeting the decision was made to accept two new federated societies to the IEA family, the Bulgarian Association for Ergonomics and Human Factors and the Ergonomics and Workplace Management Society of Romania. A series of workshops were held to discuss issues of common interest so that experiences could be exchanged and ideas for future activities developed. The themes included membership acquisition and support of early career members, society development strategies, and promoting education programs.
