Events and activities organised by and under IIPPE are diverse, ranging from research workshops to formal conferences. For the most part these are organised within or between individual Working Groups, although events such as the annual Historical Materialism conferences and international research workshops are occasions during which IIPPE scholars and researchers come together to share ideas, foster research and stimulate debate.
