Join IPSA’s Work-in-Progress Sessions (WiPS)

The second edition of IPSA’s online Work-in-Progress Sessions (WiPS) will be held from 13–19 July 2026. First launched as part of IPSA’s 75th anniversary celebrations in 2024, the project aims to establish a series of interactive workshops where individual IPSA members can present and engage in in-depth discussions about their ongoing research with colleagues who share similar interests and topics. WiPS offers a unique opportunity to advance scholarly dialogue and foster collaborative research within the global political science community. 

There is a two-stage process for submitting proposals to the IPSA Work in Progress Sessions:

• Call for Units: 3 February – 3 March  2026
  All IPSA Research Committees (RCs) and Collective members (National and Regional Political Science Associations - PSAs) are invited to submit a unit proposal.
• Call for Papers: 31 March  – 6 May  2026
  All WiPS participants and workshop chairs must be IPSA members and pay registration fees.
