Psychology is the science that studies how a person thinks, feels and behaves in different social, cultural, and biological situations and contexts. Data on human functioning come from many sources: from careful observations, to questionnaire studies conducted on a large scale and over many years, to experiments—both in controlled laboratory conditions and in the natural environment.

The goal of the Re_mind Psychology Congress and Festival is to go beyond academic walls and show that psychology is not only the science of man, but also a real tool for changing the world. We believe that psychology has power — the power to explain phenomena as diverse as the cerebral substrate of the mind, the dynamics of family relationships, or crowd behavior during mass migrations.

The Congress is a space for meeting science with everyday life, theory with practice and research with real problems of the modern world. By inviting eminent researchers and practitioners, we will debunk myths and misconceptions about the state of psychological knowledge.

During three intensive days within 14 thematic blocks, we will show how psychology allows us to understand the mechanisms of addiction, depression, stress or trauma, but also helps to design effective social campaigns, develop educational programs or support the development, mental and physical health of children and adolescents and their parents.

The tools created by psychologists can heal, as in the case of effective therapy; inspire, for example, in the search for meaning and purpose in life; teach, for example, through methods of increasing motivation; dress, by understanding the impact of fast fashion on the environment; and even defend, e.g. used in forensic science or social impact theory in the context of negotiations and hostilities.
