The 18th Annual Conference of the German Peace Psychology Association
(Forum Friedenspsychologie e.V.) will be held from Friday, June 10,
2005, 17:00, to Sunday, June 12, 2005, 13:30, in Erlangen, Germany. The
conference title is

"Psychological Contributions to Peace and Justice: Current Challenges."

The aim of the conference is to take stock of important present and
future fields of peace psychology in research and professional work. As
a background, two keynote talks will be held. Gert Sommer (University of
Marburg, Germany) will speak about 20 years of German peace psychology
in retrospect, and Ed Cairns (University of Ulster, Northern Ireland)
will speak about current and future challenges of peace psychology from
an international perspective. Conference languages are English and German.

We call for empirical and theoretical papers from all fields of
psychology that can contribute to peace and justice. Papers may be
submitted in English (preferred) or German. For each talk 30 minutes
including discussion time are scheduled. Submitted papers will be
screened with regard to their general appropriateness and grouped with
related papers to thematic sessions. Please submit your contributions,
including a summary of approximately 500 words, as soon as possible,
preferably electronically at
