Dear delegates,
Both conferences were postponed from 2020, due to COVID-19, and will take place in the end of June and beginning of July 2022 in Reykjavik.
As previously planned the conferences will take place in the same week with one shared day. This gives a great opportunity to explore the commonalities between Public Health and Positive Psychology. The home of the conference is Harpa, Reykjavik´s spectacular conference and concert hall located by the harbour, downtown Reykjavik.
Registration is now open.

@northiceland is home to the 250 km (155 miles) Diamond Circle route that includes some of the most breathtaking natural phenomena and landscapes. A must-see in this area is the impressive Dettifoss Waterfall:
❄️ Dettifoss is Europe's most powerful waterfall and Iceland's most voluminous
❄️ 96,500 gallons—or 365 cubic meters of water fall down Dettifoss every second
❄️ This thunderous waterfall is so powerful it makes surrounding rocks vibrate, and its mist creates multiple rainbows
Make sure to include this marvel in your North Iceland itinerary! #inspiredbyiceland
What gives the @bluelagoonis its iconic milky-blue color? 💙
It's a result of how the silica reflects sunlight. Blue Lagoon's waters are rich in silica, algae, and minerals. A powerful natural blend that offers remarkable healing & revitalizing properties as hot seawater emerges from great depths. It is said that the Blue Lagoon's geothermal healing waters help with psoriasis and eczema.
Experience the rejuvenating power of @bluelagoonis for yourself and leave feeling renewed!

In @visitausturland, tucked away in Jokuldalur Glacier Valley, is the breathtaking Studlagil Canyon. 💙 Towering basalt columns rise from the dreamy blue-green glacial river snaking northeast through this secret paradise. Studlagil is off the beaten track but is an unforgettable sight, especially with a dusting of fresh snow. #inspiredbyiceland
Mesmerizing yet mysterious, the Northern Lights have been a source of wonder since ancient times. ✨ In Icelandic folklore, it was believed that their captivating beauty could help alleviate childbirth pain.
Experience the lights and allow your mind to wander while watching this phenomenon. #inspiredbyiceland
Did you know that winter is ice caving season? A guided tour through the stunning crystal blue ice caves at Vatnajökull National Park in @southiceland is a must during the colder months when the ice freezes. Each ice cave is unique and temporary due to the melting and reshaping of glaciers over time. So you'll never see the same one! #inspiredbyiceland
