THE 2021 IPSA WORLD CONGRESS OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
GOES VIRTUAL
 
Due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, persistent travel restrictions and the uneven and challenging vaccination rollout process worldwide, the IPSA Executive Committee (EC) took the difficult decision to transition to a fully Virtual Congress in 2021.
 
IPSA’s primary concern is to guarantee the health and well-being of our delegates, exhibitors and local partners. Going virtual will ensure a safer, even more engaging and inclusive Congress experience for everyone. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, IPSA’s mission to create an inclusive and global political science community and promote collaboration between scholars remains the same.
 
The revised procedures and timelines for the 2021 Virtual IPSA World Congress to be held on 10-15 July 2021 are now available on the Congress website.
 
The main theme of the Congress, New Nationalisms in an Open World, will not change. All accepted papers and panels remain in the 2021 Congress program. All sessions, meetings, and exhibitions will take place in virtual rooms. Therefore, we encourage all our delegates to keep their papers and panels in the program.
 
Additional Congress Day
An additional day will be added to the initial Congress dates to accommodate a large number of panels in the most optimal way to cover different time zones. The revised dates of the 26th IPSA World Congress are 10-15 July 2021.
 
Reduced Registration Fees
In recognition of the economic hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to encourage as much international participation as possible, IPSA is offering a reduced registration fee. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the reduction of registration fees is not that virtual events are less expensive and easier to run. The additional costs and the loss of local sponsorships have made a virtual World Congress as expensive as an onsite event. Members may also choose to donate the reduction in solidarity.
 
Please visit the Registration page to see the revised fees.
 
Registration
Due to the transition process, registration is suspended temporarily and will reopen on 18 February 2021. To confirm your attendance at the 2021 Congress, you may proceed to registration as of 18 February 2021. Please note that all Congress participants must be individual members of IPSA to register for the IPSA World Congress.
 
For more information please visit the Virtual Congress page which will be updated regularly.
