JULY 15-29 | HAVANA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER

37th Interamerican Congress of Psychology 

INVITATION

We are pleased to invite you to the 37th Interamerican Congress of Psychology to be held from July 15 to 19, 2019 at the Havana Convention Center. This congress will be celebrated in the year of the 500th Anniversary of the founding of Villa de San Cristóbal de La Habana, reason for happiness and pride of its inhabitants.

This event will be organized jointly by the Cuban Society of Psychology and the Cuban Society of Health Psychology. For us it is a great challenge to return to be the seat of the great event, which already had its XXI edition in 1987 in our country. There are many pleasant memories that are stored in our hearts.

They are more than one hundred years of existence of Psychology as a science and profession in our region. We often participate in different events and meetings to discuss what was done, what wasn´t done and what we should do, but that we are not yet able to achieve all our goals. However, the ties that have been woven are still not enough. In order to overcome and deepen what has been achieved so far, the central theme of our Congress will be "Inter and transdisciplinary psychology: Strengthening collaboration in the Americas."

The Americas need a Psychology with a more effective dialogue. For this is this Congress. It will serve to deepen the Knowledge and Doing of Psychology in each of our countries of Psychology. Together we will design actions and future projections.

We wait for you in Havana, Cuba

  • Concert of the group Toques del Río. This youth court group cultivates alternative music and fusion genre. In the harmonic approach of these compositions, the basic structures of Cuban music are a determining factor in the approach of the rhythm section, well seconded by the bass, of stable rhythm, and the piano, the guitar, the congas and the minor percussion , print the necessary sound identification, for passages and phrases of rhythms such as: conga, reggae, danzón, funky, as well as other Cuban, Latin and Anglo rhythms that intertwine to weave a very own musical corpus, which identifies and justifies the request of the metal string that enriches the composition, increases the interest because it improves the timbre, the harmonic and sonorous volume of the group.

Active members receive this publication and have electronic access to our bulletin, Interamerican Psychology: Bulletin of SIP. Every two years an Interamerican Congress of Psychology is held with the objective of promoting the exchange of information and ideas about psychology and related disciplines. This activity takes place in different countries of the American continents on odd- numbered years.

Every two years, alternating with the years of the Interamerican Congress, SIP celebrates a Regional Congress. The regional congresses have the objective of providing congresses in certain areas in order to facilitate access and participation for some people who are unable to attend the Interamerican Congress. Every two years, CIP awards a student prize for the best research in psychology at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The purpose of this prize is to stimulate students in the Americas to perform scientific research of social importance.

SIP maintained a Central Office, which serves as the main source for the exchange of information related to research, publications and for opportunities for the advancement of psychology in the Americas. SIP has a network of National Representatives and Delegates by country in the different regions of the Americas, which have connections to the Central Office.
