Contact International Coordination Committee if you are interested in hosting an IONS conference at your university.
All new organizers receives support from the international coordinator and previous organizers thought personal contact and via “IONS Manual” guide book, updating by every generation of organizers and containing their experience. You are not learning from your own mistakes and own experience starting from nothing; you are learning from tremendous database of advises and suggestions concerning organizing your IONS conference from many experienced students.
Traditionally, during the IONS conference students have a discussion regarding a place of the next conference. In order to organize a conference, students need to participate in at least one IONS conference to meet people, to advertise an idea of hosting a conference at their university among other participants and to present it at the discussion.
