FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Colleagues,

the Italian Network of Psychologists’ Associations (INPA) warmly invites you to the 14th

European Congress of Psychology (ECP) to be held in Milan on 7-10 July 2015 under the

auspices of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA). Both new research

and best practices from all fields of Psychology are welcome. As stated by the EFPA General

Assembly in Istanbul on 10 July 2011, a new commitment has been made to extend the contribution

of psychological research and applications towards society as a whole and beyond the traditional

recipients of psychological services. Policy makers and communities should benefit from the progress

of Psychology in times of profound changes across all domains of life to promote health, education,

work, well-being and welfare. The EFPA General Assembly accepted our proposal to host the 14th ECP

in Milan in the context of the EXPO 2015, choosing the University of Milano–Bicocca as the Congress

venue. The entire Italian psychological community has given its full support to ensuring the success of the

Congress. Milan is a moral capital and an intellectual and business centre that attests to Italian excellence

in many fields of arts, science and aesthetics. We will be honoured to welcome you in Milan.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

on behalf of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) I cordially welcome you to

the XIV European Congress of Psychology. I am pleased to see a growing participation from Europe as

well as other continents, which seems to signal that the global financial crisis and economic recession have

indeed come to an end. Over the years the European Congress of Psychology has become the place to

meet European psychologists and learn about advances in theory and research as well as educational and

professional developments in Europe. I note with pride and satisfaction that this Congress has contributors

from all over the world! Particularly noteworthy is the attention paid to the societal significance of

psychology. As you will see, the Congress program contains many contributions demonstrating how

psychology helps to understand, prevent and resolve human problems. You will note a special emphasis

on the psychology of food and nutrition. This exhibits the support of the Congress for the World

EXPO which is dedicated to the theme Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.

Welcome to Milano!

Keynote speakers

The scientific program of the 14th European Congress of Psychology will revolve around the major contribution of psychol-ogy to Feed the Mind and to provide Energy for Life, by taking advantage of best practices and recent research advances. The Congress will be a forum where all disciplines of psychology have been invited to present their most recent findings and inter-ventions that aim to improve the quality of life for individuals and the welfare of society. The goal is to promote exchanges of ideas and experiences among scholars and practitioners, collaborations and actions conducive to the implementation of bet-ter policies for health, education, work and individuals’ well-being across domains of functioning and over the entire lifespan. In accordance with the themes of EXPO 2015 special consideration will be devoted to nutrition, environmental safety and equitable growth among and beyond the traditional topics of psychological research. Psychology in fact should play a unique role in supplying knowledge, promoting the proper attitudes and guiding interventions conducive to a better and more equi-table use of natural resources and human potentials to safeguard the entire planet and the rights of future generations.

The Scientific Program will consist of:

Since the first EXPO held in London in 1851, this non-commercial Universal Exposition has been a suc-

cess. In 2015 EXPO will be held in Milan and will be an extraordinary universal event displaying tradition, crea-

tivity and innovation about food safety, security and food quality and sustainable development. EXPO Milano 2015

intends to address the universal and complex theme of nutri-tion from an environmental, historical, cultural, anthropological,

medical, technical, scientific and economic point of view. The aim is to bring to life a unique experience for visitors, as protago-

nists, building awareness and participation in the right to food that is healthy, safe and sufficient; to environmental, social and econom-

ic sustainability of the food chain and to the conservation of taste and food culture. EXPO Milano 2015 seeks to involve participants and visitors in actively finding innovative solutions through discussion and an exchange of ideas and opinions. This debate will not be miss-ing the voice of Psychology – thanks to all the participants at the ECP. EXPO Milano 2015 will take place from 1 May to 31 October 2015 and will involve over 20 million physical visitors, 1 billion virtual visitors and 147 Countries in exhibitions and thousands of events ranging from world debates and policy meetings to events celebrat-ing the traditions and culture of food. All visitors will experience a unique journey that looks at the complex theme of nutrition. They will have the possibility to take a trip around the world, sampling the food and traditions of people from all over the globe. EXPO Milano 2015 will be the first Exposition in history to be remembered not only for its products but also for its contribution towards education on food and the planet’s precious resources.In addition to live and immersive experience around the pavilions of the EXPO site, the attendees of the ECP will be able to participate in numerous scientific meetings about the themes of the EXPO, shows, cultural events and concerts held in the EXPO site and in all parts of the City of Milan. During the week of the ECP there will be organized symposia and debates concerning the main contributions of psychology to the complex themes of the EXPO 2015.
