Our Story

ISOQOL’s roots are found in the publication of the journal, Quality of Life Research (QLR), first published in February 1992. Two years later, ISOQOL was officially established as a nonprofit society whose purpose was to “promote the exchange of information about QOL and its investigation throughout the world.” To this day, ISOQOL endorses QLR as “an official journal of ISOQOL.”

The ISOQOL Annual Conference

The Inaugural ISOQOL Annual Conference convened on 3 February 1994 in Brussels, Belgium. The two-day meeting was attended by over 200 participants. The conference showcased 65 oral presentations and 72 poster presentations whose abstracts were published in Volume 3, Issue 1 of QLR.

During the conference, ISOQOL was formed in an inaugural business meeting open to the public. During this meeting, Drs. Donald Patrick (President) and Robert Kaplan (Vice President) led discussions regarding the society’s mission, name, bylaws, journal, functions, membership and future conferences. An official call for members was released the following August.
