International Student Conferences’ (ISC) mission is to promote peace by furthering mutual understanding, friendship, and trust through international student interchange.

ISC facilitates three academic and cultural exchange programs organized by university students in the U.S., Japan, Korea, and China. These programs are premised on the belief that students are not passive observers of international diplomacy, but rather are concerned citizens charged with the responsibility of guiding the direction of the world as leaders in U.S.-Asia relations.

Our Conferences

Uniquely Student Run

Student Delegates elect their peers to organize and lead each two to three week program, empowering young people in the U.S., Japan, Korea, and China to take joint action in addressing global problems.

Academically Focused

Host Universities

A 90-Year History

Since 1934, delegates have been competitively selected from universities in the U.S. and Japan as part of the Japan-America Student Conference. Since 2008, the Korea-America Student Conference has brought together American and Korean students, and since 2020, the China-America Student Conference has brought together American and Chinese Students. The rich history of these programs, means we have a vast alumni network of prominent diplomats, business people, academics, and even artists.
