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 previous 29th ICP was held in Berlin in July 2008 and attracted some 11,000 abstract submissions and over 10,000 delegates. 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 national government departments.

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 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 an exciting Emerging Psychologists' Programme, Advanced Research Training Seminars for psychologists from the developing world, various pre and post congress satellite conferences 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.
