FIDIC is an acronym for Fédération Internationale Des Ingénieurs – Conseils - i.e. the French for the International Federation of Consulting Engineers). The organisation was founded in 1913 by three countries each wholly or partly francophone (being Belgium, France and Switzerland). There are now 78 Member Associations from all over the world, and FIDIC is currently located in the World Trade Centre in Geneva, Switzerland.
FIDIC represents globally the consulting engineering industry by promoting the business interests of firms supplying technology-based intellectual services for the built and natural environment. FIDIC is particularly well known for its work in drafting standard form conditions of contract which are used on higher value international construction projects, and are endorsed by many multilateral development banks.
Companies and organisations belong to FIDIC national member associations. Many of these national associations now represent other professionals, such as architects. FIDIC also has affiliate members interested in the work it undertakes, such as lawyers and insurers. FIDIC organises conference, seminars and training courses.
