During the year, IPSF gained its permanent office at the FIP Headquarters in The Hague, The Netherlands. It was decided that an IPSF Executive member would live in The Hague as the Permanent Officer to handle the daily running of the Federation. Due to this development, the two permanent printing and distribution offices in Austria and in The Netherlands were dissolved. The IPSF ten year plan, launched in 1989 was once again discussed. Almost all the original goals had been achieved, but it was decided that a ten year plan was too long for IPSF and a two year programme of planning would be more appropriate. IPSF was also a member of the Intersectorial Meeting of International Student Organisations (IMISO) partnership. IMISO was later deregistered due to legal problems and replaced by the Informal Forum of International Student Organisations (IFISO). The 41st IPSF Congress was held in Accra, Ghana in 1995. The theme of the poster exhibition was “Pharmaceutical care”. With passing motion 75, the GA officially renamed the congress to “Chicken and rice congress”. The first IPSF/FIP Students' Day was held in 1994 at the FIP Congress in Lisbon, Portugal. Themes in the following years included ‘The Place of Pharmacy in Managed Care', ‘Career Opportunities in Pharmacy’and 'The Involvement of Pharmacists in Outreach Health Programmes'.
With the development of the internet, IPSFnet - an electronic news service for pharmacy students - was launched along with the IPSF website.
