International Comparative Rural Policy Studies (ICRPS) is a co-learning experience of international, multi-disciplinary faculty, guest speakers, graduate students and professionals. Participants study the many facets of rural policy, from policy formulation to policy impacts, and explore similarities and differences between their countries and those of other participants.

The ICRPS summer institutes provide students with the opportunity to study in two countries. For students who wish to attend two consecutive schools (one in North America and one in Europe), the program includes advanced topics and an opportunity to share research results with faculty and other students.
Students work in groups to make presentations, analyse documents, prepare policy briefs, meet policy professionals and take part in field trips. Each intensive summer school connects faculty and international students in a dedicated learning environment. In addition, each summer school session is a combination of new and returning students, which enhances the mutual learning experience of both years. Students can take online courses for credit between the two summer schools, as well as pursue a policy research project.
