IPA2027EUR BUDAPEST

REGISTRATION

Registration is now open until 3 December 2026!

FEES & OPTIONS

You can find the fees by clicking the Registration button.

Please note that the Democracy Institute is offering six grants for paper presenters with limited access to institutional support covering accommodation and conference fees to support their attendance.

The registration fee grants access to the entire conference program, including workshops, labs, opening and closing plenaries, and welcome drinks. It is important to remember that IPA-EUR 2027 is an in-person event. We will make every effort to accommodate any accessibility and dietary requirements to ensure the conference is inclusive and safe for all participants.

During registration, you will be asked to confirm your participation in the following conference activities:

Pre-conference drink on Tuesday 12 January: select yes/no
Welcome reception on Wednesday 13 January at Democracy Institute: select yes/no
Networking activity on Thursday 14 January for those not attending field visits: select yes/no
Labs on Friday 15 January: select one of five options

These activities are included in the registration fee and do not incur any additional costs.

Field visits

Please note that the registration fee does not include the field visits. The field visits are optional and have limited space, and therefore require an expression of interest and an additional payment. The field visits will take place in the morning of Thursday 14 January and require a €10 contribution. The full amount collected will be transferred to the host organizations to compensate them for their time and effort and to support their organisation. During registration, you will be able to select one of the following field visits:

Cargonomia: Sustainability, Agroecology and Degrowth in Hungary
Józsefváros: Urban Marginalisation, Gentrification, and Urban Resistance
Budapest Municipality Social Foundation
The Activist Archive: Dissidence, Human Rights and Social Justice

More information about the field visits can be found on the Activities & Program page.

A creative and interactive networking activity will be held at the Democracy Institute for those who will not take part in field visits.
