| AdminHistory | The Psychological Society was founded on 24 October 1901 at University College London. Its aim was 'to advance scientific psychological research, and to further the co-operation of investigators in the various branches of Psychology.' It changed its name to 'The British Psychological Society' in 1906, to avoid confusion with another society.
A large amount of coordinated activity was planned to celebrate the Centenary of BPS in 2001.
Conference activity was a large focus during the centenary year, including a special launch conference in January, 'Psychology: A Science for Society' at the Royal Society, and a large number of activities around the BPS Annual Conference, held 28-31 March 2001 in Glasgow. BPS also had a presence at a number of external conferences and events during the centenary year, including at the VII European Congress of Psychology, The Barbican, London, 1-6 July 2001; AIDS Impact Conference, 8-11 July Brighton; MIND Conference, 2001. |
