7th International Conference on Spirituality and Psychology [ICSP2022] will use the award winning virtual conference platform (www.whova.com), that provides an innovative, dynamic and interactive learning and networking experience. ​

Will it be possible to attend the conference in-person?

Yes, we are optimistic that Thailand will reopen for international travels by October 1st 2021! At this moment we accept base registrations only, for virtual attendance.

Yes! We do assist our international participants who are accepted to the conference and have completed registration. Visa assistance is provided in a form of an official visa assistance invitation letter and guarantees issued by our local Thai partner organization, as required by Thai immigration authorities.

Who is eligible for attending the conference?

The conference is open to anyone interested in the topics covered, regardless of age, gender, national, cultural, religious, professional and educational backgrounds. However, space in the conference is limited and delegates are carefully selected in order to ensure culturally and professionally diverse environment, which is, we believe, where true learning happens. We host: scholars, professionals, policy makers, students and other individuals that can benefit from and contribute to the overall experience. ​

Do I have to present a paper?

No. You may join the conference as an observer as well, of course, in case your application is accepted. The main value of the ICSP experience is - the people and we encourage networking in the friendly and safe ICSP environment. We are very proud of countless lifetime friendships and numerous collaborations born in the past ICSPs.

Why am I not able to register and pay admission fee directly on the website?

Each application is carefully reviewed to ensure we only select individuals who may truly benefit from attending the ICSP, but also contribute to the experience we are committed to providing: learning and networking in a diverse environment with individuals coming from different professional and educational backgrounds as well as making sure that diversity of gender, ages and cultures are represented. Applicants who are admitted to the conference will receive the notification of admission by email, in most cases within 7 business days after their application is submitted and will be given further information on how they can complete registration for the conference and secure their spot.

What does the Conference fee cover?

The conference fee covers: invoice for paid admission, digital brochure and conference program, admission to all virtual conference sessions, review of submitted paper, it's presentation and publication in the official conference proceedings (for authors), copy of the conference proceedings publication and a certificate of attendance (certificate of presented paper - for authors). In addition to this, in-person package includes: conference kit, snacks, coffee and lunch breaks throughout the conference, networking event and hard copy of the certificate.

Do you offer financial assistance to attend the conference?

No, the conference is entirely non for profit and admission fees are projected solely based on the organizing cost of the event, hence there is no surplus that could potentially be used for this purpose. Instead, we encourage participants to search for funding from outside organizations and we provide accepted applicants with the letter of support to enhance their fundraising efforts. A number of our participants receive some sort of funding from their home universities as well as from the local NGO, corporate and governmental sectors in their communities
