INVEST Conference 2025
Uncertainty and Resilience in Changing Societies
14-16 May 2025 Turku, Finland
The INVEST Conference is an interdisciplinary, international and high-level scientific conference. Bringing together researchers from different countries and disciplines, it is an excellent opportunity for scholars and professionals to learn about research in the field, expand their networks, deepen their knowledge and create new opportunities for collaboration.
Theme 2025: Uncertainty and Resilience in Changing Societies
The world is in turbulence. These rapidly changing times of uncertainty challenge societies to adapt to adversity and austerity. The climate crisis, economic uncertainty, drastic demographic changes, growing inequalities, and ongoing conflicts demand new solutions and interventions from grassroots to institutions to enhance well-being.
The INVEST conference 2025 invites scholars to come together to discuss how to strengthen resilience in changing societies. We warmly welcome proposals for presentations from a wide range of fields in psychology, child psychiatry, social and political sciences. We also welcome proposals with different methodological approaches, especially experimental-, intervention- and register based studies. Both descriptive and intervention focused studies are welcome. We also strongly encourage PhD students to join the conference and share knowledge to build a better society.
