  • International Congress

    XXVth International Congress of Psychology Brussels, July 19-24, 1992 The International Congress of Psychology in Brussels attracted many thousands of participants from more than 70 countries. There were more than 700 participants from the United States. It was the first time that so many psychologists from East Europe tried to attend the meeting. While the political situation of the former socialist countries was no longer an obstacle to attending, those participants faced major financial problems. Brussels Was Successful As a scientific meeting, the Congress could be considered a landmark in the successful series of International Congresses. The Brussels success could be attributed to careful preparation of the scientific program; the preparations took more than four years.
