We are the IPSA-USP Summer School in Concepts, Methods and Techniques in Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations.
We offer intensive, applied courses every January at the University of São Paulo to help participants develop the skills needed for research, teaching, and applied policy analysis.
The Summer School is led by the Department of Political Science (DCP) at the University of São Paulo. The 2027 edition, our 16th, will take place in person from January 11th to 29th at INOVA USP.
All courses are organized into tracks. Each track follows a theme that forms a coherent sequence, and participants may enroll in individual courses subject to availability.
For the 16th edition, thirteen distinct courses are grouped into five tracks:
The same Fundamentals of Regression Analysis course opens both the Multi-Methods and Quantitative Public Policy tracks. The AI track runs for two weeks; the other tracks run for three.
We look forward to welcoming you to São Paulo in 2027!
