General
Yes, all Congress participants must be individual IPSA members in 2023 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.
You will have the option to create an IPSA website account when submitting a proposal for a paper or panel, or completing the registration.
Individuals may also be invited to create an online account by a panel convenor in order to be included as a panel chair or discussant, or a paper co-author.
If you already have an account, but do not remember your e-mail or password, please contact us at wc2023@ipsa.org.
Each panel should include a chair and at least one discussant.
Each panel should include a minimum of 4 paper presentations and a maximum of 6.
A panel lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes. Depending on the number of panelists, each paper presentation should be 10 to 20 minutes long.
Each individual may only participate in the Congress Program once in each of the following roles: chair, co-chair, discussant, author, co-author or participant.
- An individual may therefore appear in the program up to 6 times in a different role.
- A participant may present up to two papers, but in two different roles, one as main author and the other one as co-author.
(Should more than one of your proposals be accepted, only 1 will be accepted in the final program and any others rejected. You will have the choice to choose the proposal you wish to keep or appoint your co-author as the main author.)
The World Congress will take place from 15 to 19 July 2023. The preliminary schedule of panels and sessions will be available in May 2023 and will be subject to change. More information regarding the schedule will be provided to panel convenors by email.
Detailed information about the virtual portion of the World Congress will be provided in due course. Note that any virtual panels will follow the Argentine time zone (UTC -3).
While you complete your online Congress registration you will have the option to indicate your interest to serve as chair and/or discussant and select the session(s) of interest.
The registration fees give delegates access to the entire Congress Program.
New this year, for the first time in IPSA’s history, the World Congress registration fee will be based on the country of residence 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.
Certification will be issued to all participants who attended their panel and fulfilled their role (paper author, paper co-author, chair, co-chair, discussant or participant). A certificate of attendance and a letter of participation will be available in electronic format (PDF) in the participant's user account [My Congress] after 20 July 2023.
