International Conference of Young Scientist or ICYS is the unofficial world championship of research papers in several scientific disciplines for secondary school students.
The conference gives the challenging opportunity to the young scientists to get some feedback of the work with which they are just trying to deal, and to measure their strength in an international field.
Over the years, students from the following countries have participated in the Conference: Belarus, Czech Republic, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, The Netherlands, Ukraine, United States of America, and Yugoslavia.
The conference was held in Hungary (Visegrad, 1994, 1996, 1998), in Belarus (Baranovichi, 1995, 1997, 1999), in 2000 in the Netherlands (Nijmegen), in 2001 in Poland (Katowice), in 2002 in Georgia (Kutaisi), and in 2003 in Czech Republic (Prague).
We are convinced, that nowadays, during the permanently decreasing popularity of sciences a scientific event which attracts the young generation has special significance.
