IPSI is a weeklong professional development program for professors (all ranks) and post-docs in the fields of international relations and comparative politics who want to build the tools and networks to produce and disseminate policy-relevant academic research.

Sessions will be facilitated by senior faculty and will be held in various formats, including:

• Workshops with executive branch and congressional policymakers, interest groups, NGOs, academics, and think tank researchers, focusing on policy processes and the roles that academic research can play within them.


• Colloquia with international relations scholars who have successfully engaged in policy debates.


• Interactive communications and media training, including discussions with publishers, journalists, and new media experts.


• Hands-on workshops to develop dissemination and influence strategies, using live research material.


• Network-building opportunities with policy-makers and fellow scholars.

The application cycle for the 2011 International Policy Summer Institute is now closed.
