  A major focus of the Association's activities is a Biennial Conference which aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for intellectual exchange and communication between academic researchers, refugee professionals and policy-makers. The four first IRAP's were organized by the Refugee Studies Programme at University of Oxford.
The 5th International Conference (5th IRAP) and first one organized by the IASFM was held from 9-12 April 1996 at the Centre for Refugee Studies, Moi University, Eldoret, Kenya. The 6th International Conference was held from 13-16 December 1998 at Jerusalem, relocated on a very short term basis by its local host, the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme from Gaza City, Palestine Areas. The 7th International Conference took place from January 7-11, 2001 at the Eskom Conference Centre at Johannesburg, South Africa; the local host had been the University of Witwatersrand. With the 8th International Conference, for the first time the conference took place in an Asian country. The Chulalongkorn University at Bangkok, Thailand hosted the conference at Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand from January 5-9, 2003.
