The International Public Policy Association (IPPA) is looking for an intern at its head office located at ENTPE - University of Lyon, France.

IPPA's main objective is to promote public policy research and to create an academic community in the field by bringing together members from around the world. It currently has 1 500 members from 80 different countries and is composed of 53 international College representatives, including 21 representatives of the Executive Committee.

 

Activities

 

IPPA's main activity is to organize the International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP) which takes place every two years (Grenoble 2013 – 900 attendees; Milan 2015 – 1 300 attendees, Singapore 2017 - 1 300 attendees; Montréal 2019 - 1 300 attendees; Barcelona 2021 - 1 250 attendees). The last edition was in Toronto, in June 2023, and brought together around 1300 attendees. This conference brings together policy researchers from all around the world. In its attempt to reach even more people, the association has undertaken an increasing number of projects – ongoing and future – such as the International Seasonal Schools on public policy for Ph.D. students, the International Workshops on Public Policy, an academic review, books, etc. IPPA also seeks to offer the international academic community resources relevant to the policy field through its website and newsletters (which are sent twice a month to more than 10 000 subscribers). Recently, IPPA also launched a new online open-access academic journal, the International Review on Public Policy.
