About the Congress The IACCP XVIth Congress will be sponsored by Gajah Mada University and the Indonesian Psychology Association. Organizers are : Johana E.P. Hadiyono (Gajah Mada University, Yogyakarta), Bernadette N. Setiadi (University of Indonesia, Jakarta), and Kusdwiratri Setiono (Padjadjaran University, Bandung).	About the Congress Location Indonesia is a vast archipelago of more than 13,000 islands, spanning 5,100 kilometers from West to East. It lies between Asia and Australia covering an area of almost 2 millions square kilometers. Ranking fourth among the countries in the world, Indonesia has the largest Moslem population in the world. Bahasa Indonesia is the official language, but it also has more than 200 regional languages spoken by different ethnic groups.

The Congress will take place in Yogyakarta, one of the oldest city in Central Java where old tradition and modern living meet. For centuries the sultans of Yogyakarta and the city have preserved many of its cultural and aristocratic traditions. The palace, which is open to visitors, is the center of refined expressions of art, particularly the gamelan music, wayang performance, and javanese dances. Yogyakarta to-day is a center of learning with many colleges and universities. Gajah Mada University, one of the oldest universities in the country, is attended by thousands of students who come from all parts of Indonesia.	Yogyakarta also has a reputation for the quality of its hand-written batik and silverware. Visitors can visit museums, art galleries, shops, and also the workshops where the artisans make the batiks and the silverwares.

About 40 kilometers from Yogyakarta, lies the Borobudur, a famous Buddhist temple which was built on a hill in the eight century. Fifteen kilometers to the north-east, lies another culturally important Hindu temple the Prambanan which is used as the backdrop of the colossal live presentation of the Ramayana ballet

Accommodations and Transportation For accommodation, there is a wide range of choices, from five star hotels to moderate guest houses. Most of the accommodations are air-conditioned. Yogyakarta can be reached by airplane from Jakarta (the capital), Surabaya (East Java), or Bali with less than one hour flying time.
