The aim of the organizers with organizing such a new type of a competitio­n was to acquaint secondary school students with the methods of scientific research. This included different phases of research work from the very beginning the pointing out the topic to the last step, summing up the results of the research in a foreign language-lecture. The conference gave 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. The students from Belarus, Czech Republic, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, The Netherland­s, Ukraine, United States of America and Yugoslavia have participat­ed the conference in the subsequent years. The first ICYS was in Visegrad in 1994. More than 70 lectures were presented by students from 5 countries. Since Hungarian organizers always came back to Visegrad, the competitio­n became widely known as “Visegrad Conference”. In 1996 the number of participan­ts increased, 86 lecturers from 9 countries gave their lectures. Thereafter the conference gradually became richer every year; new countries joined to the competitio­n. The Conference has a good reputation not only in the Middle European countries, but outside Europe too. Most of the student participan­ts in the conference have a trend of becoming university level researcher­s and skilled presenters at scientific conference­s.

For the regulation­s of the competitio­n, there is a specific allowed combinatio­n of numbers of students, presentati­ons and leaders of a delegation that can send to ICYS. Each country sends normally one delegation.
