International Association For Political Science Students (IAPSS)

Our Mission The International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS) is the worldwide representation of students of political science and related studies. IAPSS strives to deliver a sustainable academic contribution to the education of its members, to foster exchange among young political scientists across the globe and to promote social and scientific responsibility. We do this by offering a multiplicity of events, publications, professionalization and career services as well as lobbying for political science interests on the international level. A Global Player with a Dutch Heart IAPSS embraces more than 10,500 members from over 80 countries. The Association – founded in 1998 in Leiden (the Netherlands) – is exclusively student-led, non-profit orientated and politically independent. The IAPSS Headquarters is located in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) – hosted and supported by Radboud University Nijmegen, IAPSS’ premium partner and itself a leading institution in the political science arena in Europe. Partnering with Key Institutions On the international level, IAPSS works closely together with the International Political Science Association (IPSA), the European Consortium for Political Science Research (ECPR), the American Political Science Association (APSA) and the International Studies Association (ISA). Additionally, IAPSS permanently cooperates with all major European youth organizations in the field of political science, education and youth affairs.
