Last year's Conference Program and the Conference Abstract Book are available to download. You are also invited to see photos from the conference held last year.

Our goal is to facilitate the exchange of ideas among graduate students and between students and faculty. We aim to provide a comfortable and friendly arena for graduate students to share their work with colleagues while learning about emerging trends in research in their field and related disciplines.

The conference is one of the largest political science events for graduate students in the international community. It helps strengthen the intellectual commitment and professional values of the participants, setting high standards and expectations for participating graduate students. Our goal is to help participants improve and polish papers on their way to major journals and publishing houses in the various disciplines represented.

We also wish to focus the attention of faculty, management, and politicians on the importance of reform in PhD training and education in the higher education system.

Last year's conference featured about 140 papers by graduate students from Israel and all over the world. Close to one-third of the participants arrived from overseas. This highly international mix of students offers an exciting and enriching experience.
