A Vision Beyond Borders
During the global pandemic, IPSYSO was founded in Türkiye with a vision that reached far beyond national borders: to unite psychology students through shared learning, collaboration, and purpose. On 24 March 2021, the technical foundations of this vision were established, marking the beginning of a growing international journey.
From Vision to Action
In June 2021, IPSYSO began its active operations through online events. At a time when distance shaped everyday life, the organisation created meaningful spaces for psychology students to connect, learn, exchange ideas, and take their first steps together toward a stronger future.
Global Psychology Talks: Bringing Global Voices Together

The First National Assembly: United by a Shared Purpose
