The second edition of IPSYSO Global Psychology Talks was held on 7 March 2026, bringing together more than 200 participants from dozens of countries for an international academic programme focused on contemporary psychology and the evolving needs of the field. While the programme represented the second edition of the Global Psychology Talks series, it also marked IPSYSO’s third international-level event, reflecting the organization’s growing global reach and its continued commitment to connecting psychology students, academics, researchers, and professionals across borders.
The event welcomed a distinguished group of speakers, including Asst. Prof. Katerina Georganta, Prof. Jane Ogden, Prof. Colin Davis, and Carlos Andre Ribeiro Oliveira Pinto. Through their presentations, participants had the opportunity to explore a wide range of topics related to psychological research, mental health, professional practice, academic development, and the current changes shaping psychology at both national and international levels. The diversity of the sessions enabled attendees to engage with different areas of psychology and gain insight into both theoretical perspectives and practical applications.
Throughout the programme, participants were encouraged to reflect on emerging challenges in psychology, discuss new approaches within research and practice, and consider how psychological knowledge can respond to rapidly changing social and professional environments. The sessions created an academically engaging atmosphere in which participants could deepen their understanding, ask questions, and benefit directly from the knowledge and experience of internationally respected speakers.
In addition to its academic content, the event provided an important platform for international exchange. Students, early-career researchers, academics, and professionals from different cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds came together to share perspectives and establish new connections. This international participation strengthened the programme’s intercultural dimension and supported meaningful dialogue among individuals with different experiences of psychology education and practice.
The event also demonstrated IPSYSO’s increasing capacity to organize large-scale international academic initiatives. The participation of more than 200 attendees from numerous countries highlighted the growing interest in accessible, high-quality psychological content and confirmed the importance of creating spaces where students and professionals can engage directly with experts in the field.
As the second Global Psychology Talks and IPSYSO’s third international-level event, the programme represented another significant milestone in the organization’s international development. It reinforced IPSYSO’s mission to make psychological knowledge more accessible, promote academic and professional development, encourage intercultural learning, and strengthen cooperation within the global psychology community.
With its strong academic programme, diverse international participation, and emphasis on knowledge-sharing, the second edition of IPSYSO Global Psychology Talks contributed to the continued growth of a more connected, inclusive, and globally engaged psychology community.
