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

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

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
