NETWORK & COLLABORATE
Chapters
The ICON•S family includes a wide range of national and regional chapters as well as interest groups. National and regional chapters foster scholarly collaboration and networking within specific regions or countries in furtherance of the ICON•S mission. Our chapters exist or are currently in formation in every region of the world. We welcome expressions of interest in creating new chapters, whether national or regional.
Interest Groups
Interest groups are structured around specific themes or challenges in public law. They are oriented toward sustained collaboration, for instance, joint research projects or publications, among ICON•S members from different nations or regions. Our interest groups span all areas of public law. We are eager to support the creation of new interest groups.
