QUALITY BASED SELECTION

FIDIC is the French acronym for the international federation of national associations of independent consulting engineers.

FIDIC was founded in 1913 by five national associations of independent consulting engineers within Europe.The objectives of forming the federation were to promote in common the professional interests of the member associations and to disseminate information of interest to members of its component national associations.

FIDIC membership presently numbers 65 countries from all parts of the globe and the federation represents most of the practising consulting engineers in the world.

FIDIC arranges seminars，conferences and other events in the furtherance of its goals：maintenance of high ethical and professional standards；exchange of views and information；discussion of problems of mutual concern among member associations and representatives of the international financial institutions；and development of the engineering profession in developing countries.

FIDIC publications include proceedings of the various conferences and seminars，information for consulting engineers，project owners and international development agencies，standard pre-qualifications forms，contract documents and client/consultant agreements.They are available from the secretariat in Switzerland.
