Seoul to Host the 2025 IPSA World Congress of Political Science

We are excited to announce that Seoul, South Korea, will host the 2025 IPSA World Congress of Political Science following a decision by the Executive Committee (EC) during meetings held in Istanbul on 29-30 October 2022. The Congress will be held at the Coex Convention & Exhibition Center on 12-16 July 2025. The Congress program will be prepared by Program Co-Chairs Prof. Irasema Coronado and Prof. Azul A. Aguiar Aguilar under the theme Resisting Autocratization in Polarized Societies. As a scientific association bringing together over 4,000 members worldwide, we are pleased to organize the IPSA World Congress in Seoul for the second time since 1997.

The vibrant city of Seoul, with its population of 10 million, is South Korea’s economic, cultural, and political capital. The IPSA World Congress will be organized in collaboration with the Korean Political Science Association (KPSA), and we expect a strong turnout from the political science communities of Asia and Oceania. The Korean Association has already secured full support from the government of South Korea, the city of Seoul, and universities and organizations across the South Korean political science community.

Please stay tuned for more exciting news about the 2025 IPSA World Congress in Seoul!
