ISM PAIR aim to provide forums for ongoing discussion outside the conference and within its local settings. In recent years, HPAIR's partners have increasingly utilized internet communication to facilitate the ongoing discussions about the HPAIR workshops throughout the year with HPAIR members living in different regions of the world. ISM PAIR also aims to foster intellectual exchange by holding its own seminars, workshops and conferences. While usually more local in focus, ISM PAIR would uphold the same common spirit and driving force behind the main international HPAIR conference. Finally, aside from the recruiting and academic components, ISM PAIR would also fundraise for its own local events and help its members pay for conference attendance costs.
