About SRC

The Jindal School of Psychology & Counselling (JSPC), O.P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat, Delhi-NCR, Haryana ,India, is pleased to announce the 3 Annual JSPC Student Research Conference. It will be held on 13 September 2025 (Saturday) on the theme of Mind, Society and Technology: Changing Landscape of Psychology

In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and evolving social structures, the discipline of psychology is undergoing transformative change. The JSPC Student Research Conference 2025 invites budding psychologists and interdisciplinary thinkers to explore the evolving relationship between the mind, society, and technology. As digital tools become more embedded in daily life and social dynamics continue to shift, psychology is being called to adapt, innovate, and respond to new realities. This year’s theme, “Mind, Society and Technology: Changing Landscape of Psychology,” encourages students to reflect on how psychological science and practice are being reshaped in our rapidly changing world.

We welcome submissions that engage with a wide range of contemporary topics—from the role of AI in mental health care, to digital habits and their psychological impacts, to the application of psychology in organizational, forensic, and community settings. Whether you’re exploring neurocognitive functions, emotional wellbeing, social behavior, or emerging therapeutic approaches, this conference offers a platform to share your work, receive feedback, and connect with peers. Together, let’s reimagine the future of psychology in a world defined by innovation, diversity, and complexity.

This conference aims to bring the young budding psychologists (undergraduate, and postgraduate, MPhil, and PhD students) working in various branches of psychology across the country to participate and present their research at O.P. Jindal Global University. As a research-intensive university, we are committed to understanding the changing society and exploring cutting-edge scientific research. It is our privilege to invite you to participate and have an opportunity to exchange insights about research to practice, connect and expand your professional network, and hone your research skills.
