The International Political Science Association (IPSA) invites the Collective Members of IPSA to submit a bid to host the 27th IPSA World Congress of Political Science in July 2022 (WC2022)

The call for bids to host the WC2022 is open until 31 July  2019. The bidding deadline was extended from 1 April 2019 to 31 July 2019.

Once three (3) host cities are shortlisted by the Bid Evaluation Committee (BEC), site visits will be organized in October 2019. The 2022 host city will be selected by the IPSA Executive Committee based on the recommendation of the BEC and announced in December 2019.

As per the IPSA Rules and Procedures, an application to host the Congress can be submitted by a national or regional political science association that is a collective member of IPSA, or by another body recognized by IPSA as an appropriate host organization (university campus, faculty or department). When preparing their bid, we encourage our Collective members to get support from a Destination Management Organization (DMO) such as the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB).
