International Federation of Associations of Anatomists

In 1903, Prof. Nicolas, from Nancy, France, was successful in founding the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

The first International Congress of Anatomy was held in Geneva in 1905 and started as a committee to organize five yearly conferences.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

There are 56 member associations of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (e.g., the American Association for Anatomy). The IFAA is the only international body representing all aspects of anatomy and anatomical associations.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

Since 1989 the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FICAT) under IFAA auspices, has met to analyze and study the international morphological terminology (Anatomy, Histology and Embryology), releasing updated Terminologia Anatomica in 1998 and Terminologia Histologica in 2008.{{cn|date=September 2022}}
