International OSA Network of Students IONS México 2015
IONS Mexico City 2015 is conference held in Mexico City that is organized for students, by students, and brings together a large group of Honours, PhD and Masters students in any field of optics. IONS Mexico City 2015 is also a part of the IONS (International OSA Network of Students) project that is run by student members of the OSA (The Optical Society). The main goal of IONS is to facilitate discussion and networking between students in different research fields of optics who otherwise would be unlikely to meet. This gives students a fresh perspective, as well as the opportunity to learn about research beyond their own field in optics. Participants also learn the essential skill of how to communicate their research to people who are not experts in their field.

The IYL 2015 was launched in January 2015 in Paris at a ceremony attended by more than a thousand participants, and has brought together partners from around the world to highlight the importance of light and optical technologies for the development of society. The actions of the year are reaching millions worldwide, making it one of the most successful international science outreach actions. The Closing Ceremony will both review the year and its successes, and will especially focus on ensuring an enduring legacy.
