The organisers:

The conference is organized by the European Network for Positive Psychology and supported by two leading universities in Russia, Lomonosov Moscow State University and Higher School of Economics.

The mission of the ECPP2012 is to promote the science and practice of positive psychology (PP) and to facilitate communication and collaboration between researchers and practitioners interested in positive psychology in Europe and around the world.

The burgeoning field of positive psychology focuses on the study and practices promoting positive emotions, well-being, strengths, and virtues that help individuals, institutions, and communities to thrive.

All attendees will have a range of opportunities to discuss their research, insights, ideas, practices and to interact with like-minded people who focus on studying what is best in life and how to create more of it.
