These conferences have been sustained through an organic, collaborative process and there is no central organising body per se.
The International Conference of Community Psychology (ICCP) is an international event that gathers psychologists, scholars and activists from the whole world to discuss and interact on community psychology and social change. The 9th ICCP (International Conference of Community Psychology) is an international event that gathers psychologists, scholars and activists from the whole world to discuss
and interact on community psychology and social change. The first international conference was held in Puerto Rico, and conferences have since been held biannually in Portugal, Mexico, Spain, Brasil, South Africa, Chile and online in Australia. Over the years the conference has fostered important trans-national networks of people that have produced a number of special issues, papers, presentations and other work (See https://internationalcommunitypsychology.com/)
