The American Astronomical Society is honored to be the host organization on behalf of the US astronomy community and the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy for the XXIX General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union.
The ICPS stands for the International Conference of Physics Students, which is the main event of the IAPS, organized yearly by one of its member committees. The purpose of the conference is to create an opportunity for physics students to come together, to talk about science and life, to practice presenting their research and, all in all, to have a great time. The conference is entirely organised by physics students for physics students, and its official language is English.
