The 21st Conference of the International Society for Quality of Life Studies
The International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS) is holding its 21st conference in the thriving city of Rotterdam,
home of the Erasmus Happiness Economics Research Organization (EHERO) and the World Database of Happiness. The
theme of the conference is “Towards a People-First Economy and Society: A World to Win”. Confirmed keynote speakers
are Jan-Emmanuel De Neve (Oxford University), Jan Delhey (Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg), Barbara
Fredrickson (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Amanda Janoo (Wellbeing Alliance), and Ruut Veenhoven
(Erasmus University Rotterdam).
This ISQOLS meeting will be completely in-person. Some of the keynote lectures will be made available online to ISQOLS
members. There are plans for a virtual event later in the year for those unable to physically attend.
ISQOLS conferences provide a space for scholars to provide their research findings on quality-of-life, well-being, and
happiness, as well as to discuss their relevance for policymaking. ISQOLS gathers scholars from all corners of the world,
from different disciplines, with different methodological and theoretical perspectives, and following different approaches, but
with one common goal: generating research-based knowledge to contribute to the well-being in societies.
