Our colloquium meetings are primarily designed as an exchange of ideas and serve to discuss ongoing and completed research projects on parliamentarism and "related" areas such as party or election research.

Academics and friends of parliamentarianism are cordially invited to present and discuss their research projects or results, academic qualification papers or project ideas with practical relevance. Master's and doctoral students are also expressly invited. Presentations can be given in German or English.

The colloquium takes place on Thursdays from 10:30 to 12:30 in the IParl and on request also hybrid. If you are interested, please write an e-mail with a few words about your topic to kolloquium@iparl.de.
