ISQOLS 22nd Annual Conference Malaysia: "Human Happiness and Wellbeing in an Uncertain World"


25-28, June 2024

University Malaysia Sabah

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia


The International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS) is holding its 22nd conference in the thriving city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah state, on the beautiful island of Borneo. Our ISQOLS past president Liz Eckermann was born in Sabah and she envisioned and successfully bid for an ISQOLS Conference in Sabah. Sadly, she passed in 2019, and it is in her memory that this conference is hosted in the land of her birth. The theme of the conference is “Human Happiness and Wellbeing in an Uncertain World”, which reflects both the changes that have occurred in our world post-pandemic, but also the unique capacity for post traumatic growth and quality of life improvement

 Assistant Professor at the Behavioural Science Research Institute (BSRI), Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand.///


"Over the years my research interest and teaching focus have been about how work impacts wellbeing and quality of life. Moreover, the opportunity to use the interdisciplinary perspectives of behavioral science in conducting research and then “applying” the outcomes to enhance the experience of workers in some way has been a driving force for me."
