    The 23rd Annual Conference and 30th Anniversary of the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies

    In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS), join fellow researchers and practitioners from around the globe to share insights, discuss research findings, and to forge new connections. Our conferences offer a unique platform to explore multidisciplinary approaches to quality-of-life research and their implications. We invite speakers from all relevant disciplines and methodological backgrounds to apply.

    This year’s theme is “Redefining Progress: Achieving Sustainable Well-Being for All” which highlights the community’s continued efforts to better understand quality-of-life and to integrate it into inclusive concepts of societal progress.

    The main conference activities will take place over four days and include several keynote addresses, one roundtable discussion, special sessions, parallel oral presentations, and poster sessions. As usual, we anticipate pre-conference workshops, and a social event.

    The confirmed keynote speakers thus far include Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia University) and Sonja Lyubomirsky (University of California, Riverside), Sir Richard Layard (London School of Economics), and Robert Costanza (University College of London). 

    The 23rd Annual ISQOLS Conference is organized in collaboration with the Research Department of STATEC (the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg) and the University of Luxembourg, with the support of the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy.
