Welcome to IPA Congress 2023

Dear colleagues:

We would like to warmly welcome you to the 2023 IPA Congress!

The pandemic has made for a long-awaited congress and we are so excited to finally be able to say WELCOME to the first face-to-face IPA event since our 2019 congress in Santiago de Compostela!!!! Although the IPA has been able to adapt with the use of new technologies, surely, most of you share the desire to meet in person with colleagues, to discuss professional issues, create projects, and also, of course, enjoy sharing moments of relaxation. For this reason, the chosen congress theme is “New Perspectives in a Changing World: Social Connectedness, Aging and Mental Health”. And as always, is a melting pot of disciplines, social and cultural perspectives that characterizes IPA.

The Organizing and Scientific Committee are working to offer you an attractive program, and the historic and beautiful city of Lisbon offers an incomparable social and cultural atmosphere.

We look so very forward to seeing you in Lisbon. While waiting to be able to do it in person, we send you... our last virtual hug!
