Welcome to South Africa and ICP 2012 - Cape Town 22-27 July 2012

The International Congress of Psychology, held every four years under the auspices of the International Union of Psychological Science, is the flagship event in international psychology. The 30th International Congress of Psychology is the first to be held in Africa, and is organised by the National Research Foundation of South Africa and the Psychological Society of South Africa, in partnership with key South African universities and the psychological associations of neighbouring countries.

Organised around the theme Psychology Serving Humanity, the congress will highlight how psychology translates its science and practice into the knowledge, skills and tools that are able to underpin the human condition. Besides Invited Addresses and Symposia by over 300 global leaders in their fields, there will be scintillating State of the Science Lectures and Controversial Debates on topics of current interest, and exhibitions by leading publishing houses, technological innovators and international psychology organisations. Special activities will include a Translational Policy Research Lecture Series, an exciting Emerging Psychologists' Programme, Advanced Research Training Seminars for psychologists from the developing world, various cutting-edge workshops and a variety of tours (including famous World Heritage sites like Robben Island and Table Mountain) and breathtaking wildlife safaris for delegates and accompanying persons.

Who Should Attend

Teachers and students of psychology, psychologists in practice, other health practitioners (including psychiatry, nursing, occupational therapy), social workers, educators, human resource practitioners, marketers of products geared at the wide range of psychologists and anyone interested in a better understanding of the human condition.
