The Federation was chartered at the 1973 meeting of the International Futures Research Conference.
Past organization presiden Eleonora Barbieri Masini said in 2005: "The vision of the Federation is just as valid today as it was when the Federation started. It can still perform the role of a modest bridge between people who are concerned with building a humane world."

“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
