Int. Congress of Psych.
June 9, 1993
Dear Colleagues,
The XXVIth INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF PSYCHOLOGY will be held
in Montreal, Canada from August 16 to 21, 1996. Some time ago,
the organizing committee circulated a call for suggestions for
symposia, keynote speakers, and state-of-the-art lectures. It is
not too late to make suggestions if you want your area of
interest to be represented at this congress.
The committee is also anxious to encourage participation
from countries that have not previously had a strong presence at
international meetings. Psychologists from the Ibero-American
countries, Eastern Europe, and the developing world are warmly
welcomed.
Many of these people are unknown to the committee and have
no access to electronic mail. So if you know of such persons,
could you take the time to either mail or fax a copy of this
announcement to them?
The forms for making proposals follow. The names and
addresses of persons to whom replies should be sent are listed on
the forms.

SYMPOSIA: INFORMATION FOR PROPOSALS
The objective of an International Congress symposium is not to promote in-
depth discussion of technical matters, which can better take place at more
specialized meetings, but rather to allow critical assessment of recent
advances in a particular line of study, from which psychologists in it or
other fields might benefit.
Each symposium will in principle involve four to five speakers. The
composition of the panel of participants should take into account the
international character of the Congress. Whereas the quality of the
presentations must be the major consideration, efforts should be made to
include participants from several member countries. Ideally, each speaker
should represent a different country. In any case, there should be no more
than two speakers from a single country.
The organization of each symposium will be entrusted to a convener, who
will define the theme and invite the speakers, in consultation with the
Program Committee. Conveners can chair the session if they wish or give a
presentation. They can also elect not to be included among the announced
speakers, but have a presentation in reserve in case one of the latter
fails to show up. The inclusion of invited discussants will not be
encouraged. The discussion, to which a half hour will be reserved, should
best occur between panel members and the audience. Although simultaneous
translation for the two official languages of the International Union of
Psychological Science, English and French, will be available at the
Congress for selected activities, it will probably not be available for
symposia.
A proposal should indicate a convener (and an alternate), a short title, a
brief description, and an indication of the field of study. The
suggestion of possible speakers would be helpful. It would also be
preferable if those formulating proposals indicated their knowledge of the
proposed participants' speaking ability and their salience in the topic
area. One can propose a symposium without wanting to be convener or
speaker.
Unfortunately, not all proposals can be accepted. The Program Committee
will have to select among the proposals to take account of available
space, geographical and national representation, and a necessary balance
among areas of psychological inquiry. The Committee may have to integrate
overlapping proposals.
Proposal forms should be sent to the Chair of the Symposia Subcommittee:
