In addition to their global distribution, the expertise of this distinguished group of developmental scientists encompasses the periods of early and middle childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age; genetic, biobehavioral, social, and cultural dimensions; and applications to the fields of education, health and public policy. With their creative collaboration we hope to generate a broad, multidisciplinary program for the 2020 congress with both a global scope and distinctive regional themes.
