Congresses & Events
IAPS holds a major conference every two years. These conferences have until now been held in Europe and Western Asia.
IAPS is very keen to support conferences which are compatible with the objectives of the Association and in which our members will have an interest and may indeed be attending and speaking. For example, a way to support related conferences is to offer to organise a paper session. By these means the IAPS Board will put together a themed symposium, including supplying the speakers. We believe this is an excellent way of encouraging collaboration between organisations, and for this reason we will always try to look favourably on any request by another organisation to organise such a session at one of the IAPS conferences.
IAPS is proud to lend its support to the upcoming TELPA 2011 conference in Tlalnepantla Mexico this November 21st through the 25th. The conference is the Third Latin-American Meeting on Environmental Psychology, with a focus on Environmental Psychology and Sustainability. This year IAPS board member Giusseppe Carrus will speak at the conference conference. Please download an English Prospectus for TELPA2011 here.
The Networks also organise symposia and conferences.
IAPS is very keen to have links with sister organisations, and we are constantly looking for ways in which these relationships can benefit the membership. For example, it has been agreed that members of EDRA, MERA and PAPER will get reduced rate registration fees for IAPS Conferences. This is in turn reciprocated so that if an IAPS member attends an EDRA Conference they pay the same fee as an EDRA member. Membership of IAPS also enables reduced subscription rates to various journals.

FIELD/WORK
6th Annual AHRA International Conference
University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art, 20-21 November 2009
http://www.ahra-architecture.org/Events_2009_edinburgh.php
Call for Papers:
Fieldwork has always been integral to the work of architects and landscape
architects and the many forms of associated scholarship, from the site visit
to the grand tour to the social survey. We visit sites – real and imagined
- to collect, order, and interpret data, to establish parameters,
frameworks, contexts, and outlines for design work. As the sites of design
work and scholarship have become increasingly complex and mediated, the
questions as to what and where the field is, how we collect data, how we
ensure its reliability, and how it informs design work have renewed
practical and theoretical significance.

The Child in the City conference is the fourth bi-annual conference of the European Network Child Friendly Cities (EN CFC). During the last decennium this conference has been the place to be for all cities and scientists focussing on the theme of a local child friendly policy. Cities from all over Europe (but also from Canada and Australia, and…) inspired each other by telling about their own experiences and looking for similar cities with similar problems. It is as a market and a lab in which new ideas are developed.

The 19th IAPS Conference held at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria, Egypt on 11-16 September, 2006, presented the multifaceted reality of the problems we are tackling in our world today to reach sustainable development, ‘a concept around which our common future turns’ (Uzzell, 2002). To meet the challenges of the New Millennium, it was found imminent to engage in more interdisciplinary collaboration between the disciplines of IAPS (design field/ anthropology-sociology- psychology- geography- ecology-environment) and the natural sciences to contribute to the main theme of Environment, Health and Sustainable Development.
