NEWSBRIEFS
January 2024
The members of the IEA Executive wish all our NewsBriefs
subscribers a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Isn’t it
interesting that these common New Year wishes echo the aims of our
profession: To design health-enhancing and performant work systems.
Your efforts contribute to the success of the year for everyone. We
look forward to hearing what you are doing at the upcoming IEA
triennial congress IEA2024.
In this edition of the IEA NewsBriefs you will hear of the
exciting changes that have been made to the IEA corporate identity and
how HFE principles were incorporated into the design. If you are still
working on your nominations or are still considering nominating someone
for the IEA Awards, you will be happy to note that the deadline has
been extended to 30 January 2024! Read the award criteria and
nomination requirements below and visit the IEA website to get more
details about each award. As usual, the IEA NewsBriefs also provides
details of upcoming HFE events and the Spotlight on IEA Societies
feature where we learn more about the Soci?t? d’ergonomie de langue
fran?aise (SELF). We hope you enjoy this edition and that you will
continue sharing HFE updates for inclusion in future editions (forward
your contributions to sma.ngcamu@gmail.com).
ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Look
The IEA is starting the year with a change in our
corporate identity. The modernised logo, colour scheme, and fonts will
be phased in over the coming months. Elements have already been
incorporated into the IEA website (https://iea.cc/) and all future publications will follow the same format.
The project was led by Prof. Karen Lange Morales, a co-chair from the
Science, Technology, and Practice Standing Committee and emphasis was
placed on the ergonomics/human factors aspects of the design so that it
is attractive, adaptable, and easy to read. The colours were chosen to
be seen by those who have the most common form of colourblindness.
DEADLINE EXTENDED - NOMINATIONS FOR IEA AWARDS
AWARD DEADLINES ARE VERY EARLY!! ALL NOMINATIONS ARE
DUE BY 30 JANUARY, 2024.
2024 will be a banner year for IEA
Awards. We expect to present
8 different IEA Triennial Awards as well as the annual IEA Fellow
Awards, IEA/Tsinghua Awards, and IEA/Kingfar Awards for students and
early career researchers. In 2024 we will make the first presentation
of the Thomas Waters Memorial Award, a new award for students.
Please check this list of awards carefully and nominate
colleagues, students, and early career researchers who deserve to be
recognized.

developing country. This may be manifested through the development of
teaching/training programs, implementation of HF/E design in industry,
development of R&D programs, organization of HF/E professionals, or
extensive collaboration with international bodies such as the United
Nations.
~ IEA
Triennial Ergonomics Development Award is presented triennially to an individual(s) who has had

SPOTLIGHT ON IEA SOCIETIES
While most HFE societies that we have featured in the past
are formulated around the country or regional boundaries, the IEA
society that we are pleased to bring you in this edition was formulated
based on a common language spoken by its members, namely the Soci?t?
d’ergonomie de langue fran?aise (SELF), also known as the French
Speaking Ergonomics Society. By not confining itself to one nation or
region, SELF has managed to expand its footprint and influence to serve
the HFE community and the public over 6 decades. In this feature, you
will learn more about how SELF’s offering is tuned in to its members’
needs, and how it has managed to build and sustain a wide network of
HFE professionals who are actively contributing to the widespread
understanding and implementation of HFE.
We would like to extend our gratitude to SELF for
contributing to the IEA NewsBriefs and for their commitment to
advancing HFE through the support it provides to its members. If your
society would like to be featured in the Spotlight on IEA societies feature,
please email the IEA NewsBriefs editor (sma.ngcamu@gmail.com).
SOCI?T? D’ERGONOMIE DE LANGUE FRAN?AISE (SELF)
Soci?t? d’ergonomie de langue fran?aise (SELF), is an
international association whose members share a common language,
French. SELF members come not only from France, but also from other
European countries, South America, Quebec, and North Africa. Another
distinctive feature is its activity-centred approach. At an
international level, members of SELF are especially active in IEA
technical committees including “Activity Theories for Work Analysis and
Design”, “Gender, and Work”, “Organizational Design and Management”,
and “Ergonomic Work Analysis and Training”..
SELF was the driving force behind the creation of ORME, a
network of 8 associations representing the ergonomics professions in
France. These associations gather ergonomists working in several
fields: in-house ergonomists employed by administrations and companies,
occupational health and safety services, researchers and teachers,
ergonomics consultants, ergonomists active in the field of disability,
PhD students, etc. ARTEE, the French national assessment board for
European Ergonomists, is also a member of the ORME network and the
Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists (CREE).
