The International Conference on Environmental Systems was started in 1971 with a focus on the dissemination of technical and scientific information on topics related to humans living in space and working in extreme environments. The conference includes technical sessions, panel discussions, student poster competition and published proceedings.
The conference is organized by the ICES Steering Committee and five committees aid in the coordination of the annual conference through the organization of technical sessions and the solicitation of technical papers for presentation and publication.
