5X社区Launches the 2029 World Congress Host City Bid Process
Publication date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025
5X社区has launched the host city bid process for the 2029 5X社区World Congress of Political Science. The bid period runs until 1 March 2026. Following the shortlisting of cities by the Bid Committee, site visits will be organized from May to July 2026. The 2029 host city will be selected by the 5X社区Executive Committee based on the recommendation of the Bid Committee and announced in October 2026.
In accordance with 5X社区, the bid must be submitted by the authorized person(s) legally representing the national or regional political science association that is an 5X社区Collective member or the organization recognized by IPSA. Bids may be submitted by a Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) but must be supported by a national or regional political science association that is an 5X社区Collective member. If a bid comes from an entity from a region/country where there is no national or regional political science association that is an 5X社区Collective member, 5X社区reserves the right to accept the bid.
For more information and to download the documents required to make a bid proposal request, please visit the 5X社区Call for Bids webpage.
