ICPS is a physics conference for students, organized by students, making it the perfect  opportunity to meet international physics peers. The conference is the perfect place if you’re looking for academic growth as you can present your own poster, host a workshop, join hands-on labs or attend a variety of lectures. If you’re more interested in a cultural trip, the program includes guided cultural excursions, social evenings and the yearly nation’s evening,  where every country cooks and presents their own local dishes for everyone to taste.

If you’re worried about the price remember, the 200 euros include all accomodation, food and drinks, transportation and excursions for a week. 

For those of you worried about traveling alone, don’t be! There is already a group chat for students from the Netherlands who are planning to go so you can coordinate travel together. If you’re interested in joining the chat or if you have questions you’d like to ask students who have attended ICPS in the past, just ask your board to get our contact information.
