          2030 Agenda<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Some of the topics that the Congress is going to approach are related to the Sustainable Development Goals<\/b>\u00a0(SDGs<\/b>) of the United Nations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Psychology in local, national and European policy-making<\/b><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Research and innovation must respond to the needs and ambitions of society, reflect on its values, and be responsible. This is aligned with the idea and principles of \u201cresponsible research & innovation\u201d. Therefore, there has been a growing need for meaningful public involvement and engagement in health and social care research. The involvement of the public --\u00a0 that is, by experience, experts in their own conditions and context -- should occur in all stages of the research cycle, from shaping the health and social science research agendas (among other fields) to influencing what, why, and how research is conducted and disseminated. In order to develop and promote the role of science in society, we can only find the right answers to the challenges we face by involving as many stakeholders as possible in the research and innovation processes. So, how can we involve the public in our research? How can we implement goal-oriented care as an aspect of person-centred care? How can we work together in a participatory manner?<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Local Response to Psychosocial Crisis & Humanitarian Catastrophes<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Medical Emergency <\/span>emergencies cover a wide range of activities, from<\/span> pre-hospital to intensive care, including the provision of other care services. Its articulation, integration, and continuity, together with a significant set of common knowledge and skills, are fundamental to the success of the whole chain of medical emergency care. Comprehensive care in medical emergencies includes addressing psychosocial crises and catastrophes that are inevitable in society. This certainty creates a need for efficient and standardised local (or in some cases international) responses. In parallel, the societal phenomena and changes caused by conflict and war zones (e.g. the migration flow), enforce this need to know how to respond best to its implications and mitigate the damage caused by these events. How can we prepare efficient local responses to psychosocial crises and humanitarian catastrophes?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Gender Equality\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              By definition, gender equality exists when a person\u2019s rights and opportunities are not affected by their gender. Nevertheless, even after considerable changes in legislation, movements, and activism, we still see gender inequalities in many contexts of our society. What are the solutions that still need to be put into practice, and how can psychology help?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Mental Health and Well-Being in the General Population and in the Workplace<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Individuals are not responsible for mental health and well-being, but society is. Governments, as well as both public and private companies, must prioritise mental health. A large fraction of our lives is spent at work. What are the consequences if our work does not have a positive impact on our mental health and well-being, not only on a personal level, but also on our families and the rest of society? How can psychology be used to put mental health first in public policies?<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Restorative Justice & Use of Psychoactive Substances in Clinical Settings<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Psychoactive substances are commonly seen as a cause of problematic behaviours. But what if they could be used to treat depression and anxiety disorders? Justice is seen as a straight path: someone had a behaviour that was not acceptable, which was followed by punishment. But what if we could use a different approach that allows a repair of the harm and solves conflicts or even prevents future ones? Can these changes in the status quo be supported by psychological science?<\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Political Polarisation<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Every day, we see Europe\u2019s central and western democracies becoming more divided than ever. At the Summit for Democracy 2021, President Joe Biden said that the on-going clash between autocracy and democracy (the defence of democracy) is \u201cthe defining challenge of our time.\u201d Are democracies at risk? Different ideological views are essential and part of democracies. However, the polarisation of political views can lead to conflicts and populism. This situation is being exacerbated by fake news and disinformation. How can psychological science help political institutions and citizens detect fake news and build peaceful societies?<\/span><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Research and Innovation<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Research and innovation must respond to the needs and ambitions of society, reflect on its values, and be responsible. This is aligned with the idea and principles of \u201cresponsible research & innovation\u201d. Therefore, there has been a growing need for meaningful public involvement and engagement in health and social care research. The involvement of the public --\u00a0 that is, by experience, experts in their own conditions and context -- should occur in all stages of the research cycle, from shaping the health and social science research agendas (among other fields) to influencing what, why, and how research is conducted and disseminated. In order to develop and promote the role of science in society, we can only find the right answers to the challenges we face by involving as many stakeholders as possible in the research and innovation processes. So, how can we involve the public in our research? How can we implement goal-oriented care as an aspect of person-centred care? How can we work together in a participatory manner?<\/span><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Local Response to Psychosocial Crisis & Humanitarian Catastrophes<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Medical Emergency <\/span>emergencies cover a wide range of activities, from<\/span> pre-hospital to intensive care, including the provision of other care services. Its articulation, integration, and continuity, together with a significant set of common knowledge and skills, are fundamental to the success of the whole chain of medical emergency care. Comprehensive care in medical emergencies includes addressing psychosocial crises and catastrophes that are inevitable in society.

How can we prepare efficient local responses to psychosocial crises and humanitarian catastrophes?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. Artificial Intelligence and Cyberpsychology<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot topic on the political and research agendas in Europe and elsewhere. Society is experiencing an era of technological change, with developments in science that have the potential to impact every facet of our daily lives. AI-based technologies have the capacity to perform tasks at \u201ca much greater speed, scale, or degree of accuracy than humans\u201d. This provides us with opportunities to address rising challenges in society. For this reason, the investment in artificial intelligence and machine learning has been significant. Several disciplines have been adding value to this field and contributing to policy-making concerning AI. However, the role of psychology in artificial intelligence\u2019s policy-making is unclear, particularly in Europe, leaving space for us, psychologists, to promote spaces to debate it. Could this be an opportunity for psychology?<\/span><\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. Education<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            Goal #4 of the Sustainable Development Goals is to \u201c<\/span>ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all\u201d. However, systemic inequality will have great repercussions in our future education system.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            There is a worldwide need to remove the obstacles to access a quality education. It gives future generations an opportunity to break the \u2018cycle of inequality\u2019. Education policies should promote inclusivity and empowerment as two strategies to build lifelong learners. Ever since the Covid-19 outbreak, education has been in the spotlight. Are we using public policies to improve the system? What else has to be done to empower students to make informed decisions?<\/span><\/p>\n

                              \n
                            1. Environmental Psychology and Climate Change<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                              Making cities more sustainable is synonymous with changing people's behaviours towards sustainability. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand the mechanisms behind people's perceptions regarding climate issues: what makes the individual choose between sustainable and unsustainable behaviours? Are those behaviours considered choices at all, or an unavoidable necessity?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Nowadays, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly evident and have more negative consequences for individuals. Seeing how it is a pressing issue, how can psychology have a say in climate action? And how can psychologists have an influence on public policies towards sustainability?<\/span><\/p>\n

                                \n
                              1. The young people at the Congress 2023<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                Young people have a voice that sometimes does not have a platform to be heard. During this congress, the goal is to do differently. To have multiple platforms where our ideas, voices, questions, and doubts can be heard, answered, and taken into consideration. What are you waiting for? Do you want to see the change or be part of it?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
