Students at the IISE are referred to as participants. They are coached by catalysts who stimulate, encourage and challenge participants to help accelerate their learning and ensure personal development.
 
The IISE is a unique institution with a distinctive philosophy, which cannot be compared to a university or other conventional academic entities. The institute is a ‘think and action tank’ where talented visionaries from all over the world exchange knowledge and experiences and work together as a team for the realisation of their visions and dreams.
 
Every IISE participant is an active, contributing, independent, self-confident and skilled person who possesses expertise in different fields. As a potential participant, you are therefore not coming to the IISE as a student, but as an expert.
The expectation of participant’s participation and commitment to the program is very high. To this end, before proceeding to the application process, ask yourself the following questions:
 
    * Am I willing to spend 11 months of my life in a developing country, working intensively on developing my social entrepreneurship and leadership skills?
    * Am I willing to participate in all activities, giving my best every time in terms of my knowledge, experience, effort creativity and talent?
    * Am I willing to help others achieve their goals and develop their skills in the areas which I consider myself an expert?
    * Am I willing to come to the institute with a spirit of integrity, mutual respect, exchange, contribution and teamwork?
    * Am I 100% committed to making my goals, dreams, vision and social project come true, continuing even after I complete the program?
 
If you answered YES to all the above questions, you are a potential candidate and we would encourage you to apply for the IISE program.
