APS is excited to announce the 2025 APS Global Psychological Science Summit will take place virtually October 21-23, 2025.

Submissions expected to open in April.  Stay tuned for submission and programming information, coming soon! 

APS launched the online Global Psychological Science Summit in 2024 to offer an additional avenue for scientific exchange and collaboration among psychological scientists. The program is designed to provide participants with opportunities to talk with and identify other scientists interested in developing and using new products, practices, and tools to strengthen and advance the emerging field of global psychological science. The program includes plenary panel sessions with leading global psychological scientists, invited workshops, submitted roundtable discussions, and scientific poster presentations.

As outlined in our strategic plan, APS has identified three goals to guide our work: strengthen the global psychological science community, make psychological science more meaningful in the public sphere, and wisely and efficiently use resources to advance our mission. This event supports the globally connected scientific community we’re working to foster, advancing innovative and integrative science.  

The APS Global Psychological Science Summit is a must-attend program for anyone interested in collaborating with colleagues from around the world, providing attendees with insights about participating in or conducting globally relevant psychological science research, contributing to the development of unifying theory, furthering cross-cultural research, gaining information about successful psychological interventions or mental health practices from other regions of the world, or learning how to benefit from existing global databases and research initiatives.
