How to Register for IPA2026BR

Registration for the 14th Interpretive Policy Analysis Conference — IPA2026BR, which will take place in Brasília from November 9 to 11, 2026, is now open.

Registration grants access to the entire conference program, including panels, workshops, opening and closing activities, and other official event sessions.

It is important to remember that IPA 2026 is an exclusively in-person event. We will not make exceptions for remote or online participation.

All IPA2026BR participants are required to register. This includes:

• authors presenting papers in conference panels;

• workshop participants;

• participants who wish to attend the conference without presenting a paper;

• participants attending any other official conference activities.

Before starting your registration, please check your registration category, the applicable registration period, and the corresponding payment method below.

1. Check the Registration Period

IPA2026BR has three registration periods:

• Early Bird Registration: until August 31, 2026
• Regular Fees Period: from September 1st to October 31, 2026
• Late Registration: from November 1st to November 9, 2026

To benefit from the lowest registration fees and contribute to the overall organization of the event, we strongly recommend registering during the Early Bird period.

Registration for IPA2026BR will close on November 9, 2026.

2. Identify Your Registration Category and Fee

The registration fee depends on three factors:

1. your category — student or researcher/professional;

2. the location of your current institutional affiliation — Global South or Global North;

3. the registration period in which your payment is made.

For registration purposes, the Global South/Global North classification is determined by the location of the participant’s current institutional affiliation, not by nationality, country of origin, or previous academic affiliation.

For example, a Brazilian PhD candidate currently affiliated with a university in Germany should register under the Global North student category. Likewise, a participant of Global North nationality currently affiliated with an institution located in the Global South should register under the corresponding Global South category.

 

3. Choose Your Payment Method

The registration procedure varies depending on the currency and payment method selected. Choose between “A” and “B”: “A” corresponds to payment via credit card or international bank transfer, while “B” corresponds to payment via PIX or domestic bank transfer.

 

A. Payment by Credit Card or International Bank Transfer
