As a close link to the industry, and as the link between WAN-IFRA's current work and the Board, the WAN-IFRA committees of members participate in the continuous development of the association. The committees are dedicated to supporting and advising WAN-IFRA in its activities in areas such as research, events, trainings and standardisation and thus participating in shaping the future of our industry.

Some of the committees are open for applications from member companies that want to assume a more active role within its membership. Other committee seats are assigned by the WAN-IFRA Board.
