ICSBS-IKS 2025 – International Conference on Social & Behavioural Sciences and Indian Knowledge Systems

1st International Conference for Schools on Behavioral Sciences

AN INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS (IKS) APPROACH

Focal Theme: Integrating Science,Spirit, and Self

About The Conference

We at WE AVEC U Foundation are delighted to invite you to the International Conference for Schools in Behavioral Sciences. As a youth-led nonprofit organization devoted to mental health awareness and education, our vision is to empower students and teachers to explore the frontiers of psychology and behavioral sciences. This conference reflects our commitment to inspiring young minds, foster academic curiosity, and build a community passionate about understanding human behavior. We warmly welcome you to join us in this inspiring journey of learning, sharing, and growth.
The focal theme of the conference, “Emerging Trends in Behavioural Sciences,” highlights the latest developments and insights in fields like psychology, neuroscience, and beyond. Uniquely, we approach these trends through the lens of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), integrating India’s rich traditional wisdom with modern science. This means participants will explore how ancient practices and indigenous perspectives (such as yoga, meditation, ayurveda, and philosophical teachings) can enrich and broaden our understanding of contemporary behavioral science. The theme encourages students and educators to bridge the gap between age-old knowledge and cutting-edge research, demonstrating how cultural heritage and modern evidence-based science together can provide a more holistic understanding of the mind and behavior. In essence, our conference theme is a call to embrace innovation while staying rooted in valuable traditional insights.
