[edit] History
IDEC was first held in 1993, and has been held in all subsequent years except for 2001. That year plans for a conference jointly organized in Israel and Palestine had to be cancelled. The Israelis organised a smaller event which was attended by Arabs, Jews and Germans. The length of the conferences has varied between two days for the first event and 15 days in 1997. The purpose of each conference has been decided by the school that is organising it.
