2025 ISPP Academy
The 2025 ISPP Academy (formerly ISPP Summer Academy) is scheduled to be held in Prague, Czech Republic 30 June-2 July 2025.
The inaugural International Society of Political Psychology – Summer Academy was launched with great success in 2011, just prior to the annual meeting in Istanbul, Turkey. The application process for the 15th annual ISPP Academy, to be held in conjunction with the 2025 Annual Meeting, is expected to open in the early part of 2025. Please check this page for updates.
The ISPP Academy is designed as a three-day workshop, to be held each year immediately prior to the ISPP annual meeting, and aims to train interested faculty and students in both foundational and cutting-edge research in the area of political psychology. The ISPP Academy’s central objective is to spread interest and promote training in political psychology around the world. Holding the ISPP Academy in conjunction with the ISPP conference provides its fellows a unique opportunity to engage with a truly international mix of participants. The registration fee for the 2025 ISPP Academy is $TBD USD per person. The ISPP Academy Fellows will also receive membership in ISPP for one year, and automatic registration for the 2025 ISPP Annual Meeting, which are already calculated in the registration prices paid for the ISPP Academy.
