IISE Collaboration between the Applied Ergonomics Society and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society
Collaboration offers access to wider knowledge base and improved information transfer
Atlanta, GA – March 15, 2022 – The Applied Ergonomics Society (AES) has signed a collaboration memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES), creating a formal working relationship between the two organizations. The agreement will allow members from both societies, representing the spectrum of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) professionals, to connect via networking opportunities and formally open lines of communications between each organization’s members that could spur identification of knowledge voids and improve translation and adoption of new knowledge.
Both organizations share common goals to advance HF/E knowledge, expand the reach and awareness of the HF/E discipline, and ultimately improve human-systems interactions. HFES members, which include students, researchers and industry practitioners, will be able to further engage with AES’ members, who use their expertise to apply research findings for successful implementation within workplace settings.
