The Association for Psychological Science is excited to announce the 2025 APS Global Psychological Science Summit will take place virtually October 21-23, 2025, and submissions are now OPEN!

Scientists around the world are facing many significant challenges. Working together to strengthen and sustain our science is critically important. Summit participants can join us from anywhere in the world for three days of in-depth scientific exchanges designed to strengthen global connections, create meaningful scientific dialogue, and confront the barriers impacting global science – all without travel.

Sharing and integrating findings from different subfields will strengthen our science globally. We invite scientists from your community to participate. Posters, research proposal posters, or roundtable sessions can be submitted through June 17.

We hope you will share this submissions information with your members. We appreciate your help in spreading the word about the 2025 APS Global Psychological Science Summit.
