INTRODUCTION

The International Colloquia on the Brain and Aggression offer
the occasion for international scientific exchanges between
multidisciplinary groups of experts on the phenomenon of
violence. This conference in Hévíz, one of the most attractive
spots in Europe, is the 36th of their international meetings
already held all over the world since more than thirty years ago,
and the third in Hungary (see: www.cicainternational.org).

The main goal of the CICA is bridging biologically based
approaches and those built on the social sciences, in the
understanding that real solutions will only be found through the
integration of insights reached from the interaction of many
different fields and levels. Fruits of this tireless effort are the
about thirty scientific books and monographs already
published.

This XXXVI CICA aims to study the phenomena of conflicts,
aggression, violence and peace through a new, integrated,
comprehensive, and interdisciplinary approach that considers
both psycho-socio-cultural and biological factors, as a basis for
a continuing fulfillment of our collective responsibility for
“inventing peace.”

During the conference, about thirty participants from fifteen
countries of four continents (Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Poland,
Russia, Serbia, Spain, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Mexico,
United States of America, China, Hong Kong, Turkey, and
South Africa), will also exchange scientific information on
their latest research findings on the topic, which will hopefully
also help to further elaborate new ideas and develop new
