Save the date!
The 2026 General Conference is headed to the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, from 8 – 11 September.

The General Conference offers a prestigious global stage nurturing the development of research across all sub-disciplines of political science.

About

With its expansive reach and inclusive approach, the General Conference provides an engaging platform that transcends regional and national boundaries. It offers scholars an opportunity to converge, showcase research to peers, connect with like-minded researchers, and benefit from fruitful discussions and intense debates.

Having brought together nearly 2,000 political scientists in Dublin and online for our 2024 General Conference, we are thrilled to head to the prestigious Aristotle University of Thessaloniki for the 2025 event.
