CALL FOR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
The International Congress of Psychology (ICP) is the leading global psychological event organised every four years under the auspices of the International Union of Psychological Science. Its tradition reaches back to 1889 when the first ICP Congress was held in Paris. All the fields of psychology will be represented in over 40 thematic areas. Thousands of participants from the whole world are expected as well as top scholars who will deliver keynote and state of the art addresses.
