Impressions from 2015 European Congress of Psychology in Milan
Asil Ali Özdoğru
Hello, Ciao.
I was at the 14th European Congress of Psychology last month from July 7th to 10th in Milan, Italy. The congress was organized by the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations and hosted by the University of Milano–Bicocca. The congress was embedded in the EXPO 2015, which is taking placed in Milan from May till October. The themes of the two events were also planned similarly on food and energy.
It was my first time at this congress, which was well attended by many psychologists from all around the world. Last time I attended this scale of a conference was the 2011 Convention of the American Psychological Association in Washington, DC. It is always refreshing to be with the community of your practice. There were plenty of opportunities to learn and grow my professional network. In addition to attending an in-person seminar by Dr. Phil Zimbardo, I got to meet many colleagues from Europe and other parts of the world. I also presented my study on humor and learning to a handful of audience.
Other than the academic part of the event, I traveled in and around the city of Milan. I had a chance to see and visit Duomo di Milano, Castello Sforzesco, EXPO area, and Lake Como to name the few. While I was strolling in downtown Milan, I came across a stylish clothing store named Excelsior Milano, which I could not pass by without photographing it. Although the weather was scorching hot, it was wonderful to see and experience many historical and natural landmarks.
