It is with a great pleasure and enthusiasm that, together with the Local Organising Committee Chair, we warmly invite you to the 33rd European Congress of Psychiatry.

The Congress will take place on 5-8 April 2025 in Madrid, Spain.

Our European Psychiatric Association community is growing fast, as testified by the increasing number of members and the numerous activities the EPA is organising. Many of you are young and clinically oriented, and it is this clinical orientation that is highlighted in the motto of our Madrid Congress:

“Towards Real-World Solutions in Mental Health”.

Indeed, next to excellent and ground-breaking research, one of the core interests of EPA is the clinical translation of these findings and the sharing of good practices. As clinicians, we are engaged on a daily basis to help real-world patients. Of course, we need to be informed of the newest scientific developments, but even more we need to get new, creative ideas and examples on how to shape our day-to-day practices.

Excellent science, high-level educational programmes and a clear focus on clinical implementation is what you’ll find in Madrid.

We are convinced that Madrid 2025 will prove to be a brilliant opportunity to exchange on these topics, meet old and new friends, expand your horizons in our beautiful profession and enjoy the many delights Madrid has to offer.

We look forward to seeing you and the whole EPA community teaming up in Madrid.

Welcome to The 15th Asian Conference on Psychology & Behavioral Sciences (ACP2025), held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, Japan.

In 2025, ACP celebrates its 15th anniversary. It has proven to be a great opportunity for engaging in interdisciplinary dialogue, speaking to scholars, and learning from other experts from around the world and from a variety of academic disciplines. The interdisciplinary and international focus of the conference draws world-class speakers and keeps people coming back year after year.

Established scholars have commented that the format of the conference allows them to share insights with younger researchers, and to learn from the next generation. Many of the works presented at ACP have been on the cutting edge, demonstrating presenters’ deep mastery of complex topics and proposing important new ideas. ACP2025 will undoubtedly continue this tradition of being a great place to learn and to network. It gives attendees the chance to build an interdisciplinary and global perspective on the study of psychology and behavioral sciences.

For this year’s conference, the Programme Committee has opted to leave the theme more open than in past years. There will be a number of streams and special sessions within the fields of psychology and behavioral sciences, but presenters will not be limited by any one, specific theme. It is hoped that this open format will encourage a broad range of submissions on a variety of related topics and encourage discussions across disciplines. ACP2025 will be held concurrently with The 11th Asian Conference on Aging & Gerontology (AGen2025). Registration for either conference allows access to both.

Held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, this international conference encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.

In conjunction with our Global Partners, we look forward to extending you a warm welcome in 2025.
