The 15th Asian Conference on Psychology & the Behavioral Sciences (ACP2025)
March 24-29, 2025 | Toshi Center Hotel, Tokyo, Japan, and Online
Welcome to The 15th Asian Conference on Psychology & Behavioral Sciences (ACP2025), held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, Japan.
In 2025, ACP celebrates its 15th anniversary. It has proven to be a great opportunity for engaging in interdisciplinary dialogue, speaking to scholars, and learning from other experts from around the world and from a variety of academic disciplines. The interdisciplinary and international focus of the conference draws world-class speakers and keeps people coming back year after year.
Established scholars have commented that the format of the conference allows them to share insights with younger researchers, and to learn from the next generation. Many of the works presented at ACP have been on the cutting edge, demonstrating presenters’ deep mastery of complex topics and proposing important new ideas. ACP2025 will undoubtedly continue this tradition of being a great place to learn and to network. It gives attendees the chance to build an interdisciplinary and global perspective on the study of psychology and behavioral sciences.
For this year’s conference, the Programme Committee has opted to leave the theme more open than in past years. There will be a number of streams and special sessions within the fields of psychology and behavioral sciences, but presenters will not be limited by any one, specific theme. It is hoped that this open format will encourage a broad range of submissions on a variety of related topics and encourage discussions across disciplines.
ACP2025 will be partnering with The 11th Asian Conference on Aging & Gerontology (AGen2025) and The 11th Asian Conference on Education & International Development (ACEID2025), increasing opportunities for broad multidisciplinary exchanges. Registration the conference allows access to sessions in the other two.
Held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, this international conference encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.
In conjunction with our Global Partners, we look forward to extending you a warm welcome in 2025.

IAFOR's Conference Themes for 2025-2029
Our selected themes for 2025-2029 bring together ideas and encourage research and synergies in the following areas:
Our four themes can be seen as standalone themes, but they are also very much in conversation with each other. Themes may be seen as corollaries, complementary, or in opposition/juxtaposition with each other. The themes can be considered as widely as possible and are designed, in keeping with our mission, to encourage ideas across the disciplines.
