The International Research by Students Programme (IRSP) is a research programme of Clio, the study association for International Relations and International Organisation at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. The programme is intended for motivated and open-minded students who wish to apply their research knowledge to a practical experience collaborating with the future workfield of International Relations. 

The IRSP collaborates with international companies, governmental and non-governmental organisations in order to provide research opportunities that expand students’ practical knowledge  while simultaneously benefiting the partners. The students are expected to conduct professional research and to present their results in a clear professional way. 

This page contains information for both students and partners about the IRSP Committee, past partners, previously completed IRSP projects, and the advantages of the programme. Partners and students are welcome to contact the IRSP Committee with questions, remarks or proposals. Furthermore, a brochure about the IRSP can be downloaded from the 'Contact' page.
