About

ISPOLE (Institut de Sciences Politiques Louvain-Europe) at UCLouvain is a multidisciplinary institute where about 100 senior and junior researchers study “politics, policy and polities” at the local, regional, national, European and international levels in a multilevel perspective under various methodological and thematic angles. Its members have succeeded to develop a reputation of scientific excellence, which manifests itself not only in numerous scientific contributions in high-level journals. The Institute’s researchers have been also actively involved in important collaborative networks and research projects (e.g. Jean Monnet Networks – Erasmus+ “Restep” or “EUN-NET”) and been repeatedly successful in the obtainment of external sources of funding at the national and international level such as the ERC Starting grant QUALIDEM or the COST Action “Constitution-making and deliberative democracy” (CA17135). Moreover, the Institute hosts the prestigious French-language journal Revue internationale de politique comparée (RIPC) and is currently leading the editorial board of the journal Politics of the Low Countries.
