Announcements

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

All abstracts submitted to the congress will be evaluated in accordance with the principles of double-blind peer review. In this context, each abstract will be reviewed by three independent referees who are members of the congress scientific committee. All abstracts accepted as a result of the peer review process will be included in the congress scientific program. Abstracts that are presented during the congress sessions will be published in the Abstract Book to be prepared after the congress, which will be available as an electronic book on the congress website.

The final versions of the abstracts will be requested from participants by May 20, 2026 (required for the preparation of the Abstract Book). Following the peer review process, full manuscripts based on the submitted abstracts will be eligible for publication in our international peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Happiness and Well-Being (JHWB).
