President ICYS : Zsuzanna Rajkovits, Eotvos University Budapest, Hungary

International Conference of Young Scientists (ICYS) is founded by Zsuzanna Rajkovits from Hungary and Leonid Markovich from Belarus. ICYS competition is first held in Hungary in 1994, joined by 5 countries. After 3 times held in Hungary each year, it is also held in Belarus for another 3 years. Next, ICYS is held for the first time in west Europe, which is in Netherlands in 2000. ICYS is held in different countries of Europe ever since, and became a competition exclusive for the continent. ICYS 2010 is the first time ICYS is held outside Europe, which is in Indonesia
As the host of ICYS, Indonesia’s National Education Department High School Directory has prepared this event carefully. Seeing these well preparations of the ministry, including financial problems, Zsuzanna addressed her gratitude. She hoped that ICYS in Bali will be conducted successfully, just like the previous conductions in other countries.
