FIK

FIK is an acronym that can refer to several different, unrelated entities. There is no single organization or concept universally identified by these three letters. In francophone contexts, FIK is often the initialism for Fédération Internationale de [X], the common naming pattern for international federations. Because multiple federations, institutes, and other bodies use the same construction, the exact referent of FIK varies by domain, country, and time period. In practice, FIK often appears in historical documents or shorthand notes where the full name has not been written out, or where the context makes the meaning clear to readers familiar with the specific field.

To determine what FIK stands for in a given instance, look for clarifying information in surrounding text:

the
field
of
activity
(sport,
science,
government,
culture),
the
country
or
language,
and
the
first
complete
form
of
the
name
when
available.
If
possible,
consult
official
sources
or
the
entity's
profile
to
confirm
the
expanded
form.
Because
of
its
generic
nature,
FIK
should
be
treated
as
a
disambiguation
term
rather
than
a
definitive
identifier.
