Panels featuring the work and research of students of political science and related studies are the core of every IAPSS conference. Students from all levels – Bachelor, Master and PhD candidates – present results from recent and ongoing research, their thesises, strategy papers, but also their work in one of the two IAPSS Think Tanks.
Panels are each chaired by either experienced Master students and PhD candidates or post-docs and professors, and discussions initiated by one or two discussants. The sessions last for 90 minutes, with 10-12 min presentations from featured presenters, followed by inputs from respective discussants before the audience gets involved in a public Q&A.
The themes of the Student Panels and the participating papers can be found below. The papers will be published before the Academic Convention.
