At the Convention
What is ICPS?
The International Convention of Psychological Science (ICPS) is the culmination of efforts by the Association for Psychological Science (APS) and an international network of organizations and individual scientists to stimulate scientific advances that are integrative; that is, in which investigators attack scientific problems by drawing broadly on research conducted at multiple levels of analysis and in multiple branches of psychological science, the cognitive sciences, the neurosciences, and other related disciplines. The initiative has been designed, in essence, to surmount artificial disciplinary boundaries that can impede scientific progress and to highlight areas of investigation in which those boundaries have already been overcome.
When and where will ICPS 2019 take place?
The International Convention of Psychological Science (ICPS 2019) will take place 7-9 March 2019 in Paris, France, at the Palais des Congrès de Paris. The Palais des Congrès de Paris is an architecturally iconic and easily accessible venue in the heart of Paris. Located in the 17th arrondissement, the Palais offers ICPS 2019 attendees a wide range of public transportation options to reach the venue and nearby tourist attractions like the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe via the Porte Maillot metro station on Line #1. The Palais is a major meeting place for decision makers and scientific experts and also features a wide choice of restaurants.
What is the program schedule?
The program features speakers BJ Casey, Frans B.M. de Waal, and Fred Kavli Keynote Address from Atsushi Iriki, as well as 8 plenary-like Integrative Science Symposia with world-renowned scientists presenting cutting-edge research that combines multiple disciplinary perspectives and innovative methods. The program also includes workshops on cutting-edge methodologies, a pre-conference Teaching Institute with talks from leading experts in the research and application of empirical approaches to teaching psychological science, and other special events.
