IFISO meeting, Ankara (Turkey) 16-20 June 2010

IFISO (Informal Forum of International Students' Associations) is an informal forum for international, politically independent and non profit student organisations. While not being a formal entity (no by-laws, no obligations, no fees, no website, no official spokespersons officers, etc.), IFISO as an informal forum is still quite influential because it creates the necessary environment for international student organisations to collaborate on all possible levels in order to strengthen their capacities through knowledge sharing and identification of synergies. IFISO members meet twice per year.

The spring meeting will be held from 16^th-20^th June 2010 in Ankara, Turkey.For more information and application please write to Tajana Nikolic at external@esn.org.
