Registration Key Dates

2023 Registration Fees (US$)

All participants at the World Congress of Political Science must register online. This includes all participants with a role in the World Congress (paper presenters, convenors, chairs, discussants).

IPSA Members

New this year, for the first time in IPSA’s history, the World Congress registration fee will be based on the country of residency of delegates. By recognizing the financial disparity between countries, residents of Upper-Middle Income Economies and Low and Lower-Middle Income Economies now have access to reduced fees to attend the 2023 World Congress.

ALL Congress Participants must be 2023 individual members of IPSA to register for the World Congress. You may become a member during the online registration process using your IPSA account. IPSA membership is not necessary to submit a panel or paper proposal; only for participation and attendance at the World Congress.

Registration fees must be paid for online by midnight, EST, 5 April 2023 to be eligible for the Early Bird Fee or postmarked by 29 March 2023, if paying by check/money order.

Registration Fees are as follows:

* All countries are categorized based on their Country Gross National Income. The country selected must be the member's country of residence. Click here to see the detailed list of countries.

** Registration category for students requires proof of student status at the time of registration (a proof of student status in PDF format will have to be uploaded in order to complete a student registration).
