The IAPSS World Congress is the largest annual event hosted by IAPSS – the International Association for Political Science Students. As a flagship event with hundreds of students participating each year, it serves as a platform to present and discuss research with fellow students from the political science discipline. During the conference, the participants will be involved in a broad range of different activities: attending student-run panels, academic lectures, and study tours. This year’s World Congress will be the first World Congress in Latin America and the Global South. The event will be held under the theme Advocacy in a Fragmented World: Power, Voice, and Transformation.
IAPSS is democratic student government representing political science students at the global level recognized by the United Nations.
We advocate for improvements to Political Science education and student interests in general at the national, continental, and global levels.
