IFISO is an informal forum for international officers of pluralistic, "non-political" and not-for-profit international (worldwide, European, etc.) student-run organisations.

Currently the IFISO network consists of a multi-disciplinary mix of 29 such NGOs, covering more than 2 million students all together.

These organisations are, as of 31 March 2008:

AEGEE, AIESEC, BEST, EDSA, EESTEC, EFPSA, ELASA,EMA,EMSA,EPSA,ESN,ESSA, ESTIEM,EUROAVIA,FISEC, IAAS,IADS,IAPS,IAPSS,IEEE,IFMSA,IFSA, IPSF, IPSO,ISHA, IVSA, JADE,PRIME and WISE.

While not being a formal entity (no by-laws, no obligations, no fees, no website, no official spokespersons or officers, etc.), IFISO as an informal forum is still quite influential because it creates the necessary environment for international student organisations to collaborate on all possible levels in order to strengthen their capacities through knowledge sharing and identification of synergies.
