The 2009 Congress of the International Association for the Psychology of Religion
23 to 27 August 2009 – Vienna - Austria

Association

The International Association for the Psychology of Religion (formally called in German Internationale Gesellschaft für Religionspsychologie) is a religiously and confessionally neutral organization, pursuing psychological research into the empirical phenomenon ‘religion(s)’ as the sole object.

It was founded in 1914 in Nuremberg, Germany, and is the oldest organization in psychology of religion worldwide. After a troublesome period, the new elected board (1998, Aarhus, Denmark) initiated a revision. The IAPR was then reconstituted in 2001 at Soesterberg, The Netherlands.

The objective of the IAPR is to promote the psychology of religion by stimulating research and international collaboration, by providing a forum for the exchange of scholarly information through the organization of bi-annual conferences, the publication of the scholarly yearbook: Archive for the Psychology of Religion (Archiv für Religionspsychologie: www.brill.nl/default.aspx?partid=210&pid=22615) and the publication of newsletters (newsletter, archive: www.iapr.de/activit.htm).

Objectives of the Congress

The Congress will be a place to share recent research in the psychology of religion as well as to meet with colleagues in the field.
 
Part of the program, and only for members of the IAPR, will be the general assembly of the IAPR and the election of a new board (Wednesday).
 
The André-Godin Prize will also be awarded during the conference (Sunday). This award is intended for an outstanding young researcher who has contributed substantially to the field of psychology of religion in the last five years through either a monograph or five research articles with a common central theme. Suggestions for a candidate are most welcome (self-nomination possible). For more information see www.iapr.de/activit.htm.
 
As in previous years, the IAPR will organize a social program which is always a good opportunity to meet old friends and colleagues as well as to meet new people and make new contacts.
