IFCU 7th International Psychology Congress

The Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Porto Regional Centre, from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, is hosting the IFCU 7th International Psychology Congress, from July 7th to 9th, under the theme: "Psychology in Dialogue: Three paths, one goal".

The main purpose of this congress relies on four assumptions:

• The mission of the IFCU comprises contributing to “set up networks of knowledge and know-how to foster effective collaboration between its membership” towards “a more just and human world;
• No scientific area is capable of, by itself, responding to the demanding challenges of a multidimensional changing society;
• Catholic Universities with Psychology Departments/Academic Units have an opportunity to develop relevant conjoint work;
• Research, teaching/training and knowledge transfer are central dimensions of Universities’ mission.

These assumptions lead to the definition of the main goal of the Congress to enable and foster the dissemination of innovative projects that include three paths of dialogue: interdisciplinary dialogue between scientific areas, dialogue between the University mission dimensions (teaching, research, and practice) developed within each University, and dialogue between Catholic Universities.

Furthermore, and considering that one of the strategic priorities of IFCU is to achieve “better involvement of the students in IFCU’s activities” (specifically in the sectorial groups’ activities), the Congress intends to promote the participation of international students, by including on its program specific students-oriented moments and by offering travel awards to students from the participating universities.
