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 based in Canada
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 Montreal (Quebec, Canada) – hosted and supported by Concordia University, IAPSS’ premium partner.

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.

Three Pillars
Our portfolio and annual agenda, provided with great dedication to our members, are built up around three pillars. In each pillar, we conceptualize and realize activities, projects, and services that contribute to the academic, personal, and social development of our members. Worldwide. Three hundred sixty-five days all year long.
