The 2015 International Conference of Young Scientists (ICYS) was held for the 22nd time this year. The conference took place in the Turkish city of Izmir, bringing together 203 students from 28 countries who presented their research projects across five sections:
Computer Science and Engineering
Environmental Sciences
Life Sciences
Mathematics
Physics
The joint team of the Georgian-American High School and Georgian-American School achieved great success in the Mathematics section, winning gold and silver medals:
Giorgi Meskhi – Gold Medal
Mari Kanashvili – Gold Medal
Giorgi Giorgadze – Silver Medal
Jaba Jabauri – Silver Medal
This outstanding achievement is largely credited to their Mathematics and English teachers – Ia Mebonia, Bela Khoridze, and Nugzar Papashvili.
The cultural program of the conference was brilliantly organized. The landmarks of Izmir, the ancient city of Ephesus (home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World), and the House of the Virgin Mary (a popular pilgrimage site visited by the last three Popes) left an indelible impression on the participants.
We congratulate our team on their triumphant performance and wish them success at the upcoming 23rd conference, which will be held in Romania.
