The first conference took place in Canterbury, UK in 2001. Further conferences have been held at

2. Reykjavik 2011
3. Potsdam 2009
4. Pisa 2007
5. Budapest 2005
6. Marburg 2003

The academic programme takes the standard conference format of sections, which have within them
between 4 and 10 panels. These sections are organized around a common theme and major research questions.
Sections are not workshops. Rather, they provide the opportunity to present recent research to a larger
audience and to expose it to the criticism, suggestions, and support of peers. The purpose of the conference
is to further scientific discussion and research across all national scientific communities and across all
areas of political science.
In addition to sections and panels, there are round tables, symposia, a plenary lecture and an interesting
social programme.
