The IPSA-Concordia Summer Institute in Applied Diplomacy

Overview

The IPSA-Concordia Summer Institute in Applied Diplomacy, the first IPSA Summer School to be held in Canada, is a ten-day program hosted at Concordia University, in the heart of Montreal. Policy-oriented seminars will be complemented with a practical hands-on Diplomacy Lab, allowing the participants to work on case studies in teams. Through field trips to Global Affairs Canada and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), participants will also explore practitioners’ points of view and have the opportunity to network with Montreal’s vibrant international community. The Summer Institute is offered in person but will host a virtual option for international students who wish to audit the course.

Montreal is home to over 70 International Organizations (IOs), including IPSA and the only UN agency in Canada (the International Civil Aviation Organization) and has a very active consular corp. Furthermore, it is situated close to Ottawa, Canada’s capital, making it easy for ambassadors and global affairs experts to participate in the Summer Institute.

We invite all graduate students, young researchers and professionals to participate in the upcoming IPSA-Concordia Summer Institute in Applied Diplomacy.
