The IPSA Work-in-Progress Sessions (IPSA-WiPS) is an online event taking place over 13 – 19 July 2026. It aims to establish a series of interactive workshops where individual IPSA members can present and engage in in-depth discussions about their ongoing research with colleagues who share similar interests and topics. This format provides a good opportunity for paper authors to receive specific and substantial feedback that is often lacking in other conference settings. The titles and content of the Units will be curated by IPSA Research Committees, Collective Member associations and Executive Committee Members.
