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.

practitioners (including psychiatry, nursing, occupational therapy), social

at the wide range of psychologists and anyone interested in a better
