The first two conferences commemorating the outstanding psychologist A.R. Luria were held in 1997 and 2002 by Faculty of Psychology of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University and drew a wide scientific response. Authors from 31 countries of Europe, Asia and America as well as from 37 cities of Russia provided their works for the conference dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Alexander Romanovich Luria that were published in a collection of summaries of about 500 scientific works.
This testifies to vital importance and fruitfulness of A.R. Luria’s theory, influence of his ideas on the development of psychology in our country and abroad. At the first conference it was decided to hold regular (every five years) meetings of scholars from different countries united by their adherence to A.R. Luria’s ideas and contributing to their development.
The participants of the second conference made a suggestion to expand the geography of the meetings what served as a reason for choosing a new conference venue – Faculty of Psychology of Belgorod State University as one of the centres in Russia that support and promote A.R. Luria’s ideas.
