  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Advances in Mechanism Design II

Part of the book series: Mechanisms and Machine Science ((Mechan. Machine Science,volume 44))

Abstract

The paper presents IFToMM and its activity as influential in Mechanism and Machine Science (MMS) and its future developments. IFToMM is the international federation of a worldwide community working in MMS with achievements in research, formation, practice and technological transfer. The role of IFToMM is discussed as influential not only in aggregating people with commonly shared activities but also in leading international collaboration for innovative trends in MMS.
