We are looking for the latest cutting edge research conducted by postgraduate students in the field of psychology. The conference aims at providing researchers with the opportunity to discuss their projects, receive feedback from experts, participate in various research workshops and create networks with peers from different parts of Europe.
Participants are asked to submit an extended abstract (500-1000 words). All submitted abstracts will undergo a double peer-review process by members of the Scientific Committee based on the following criteria:
Authors of accepted extended abstracts will be invited to present their work at the conference in the form of roundtable discussions. In the round table discussions authors working in similar subject areas will present their work in front of a small panel consisting of academics with significant research expertise and experience in the relevant area as well as doctoral students working in the same or very similar area.
Extended abstracts should be between 500 and 1000 words. For this abstract seven main areas should be addressed:
Purpose: This section should include a justification of why this topic merits pursuing as well as the aim of the study and its main objectives.
Design methodology/approach: This section should include the main hypotheses that underlie the research as well as the methods that will be employed to meet the research objectives set. Depending on the nature of the research, please provide a brief overview of the research design of the study, the theoretical context or the conceptual framework used to illuminate your object of inquiry and type of analysis conducted.
Findings - knowledge contribution, originality and value (academic/practitioner): Depending on the type of study conducted, provide a brief overview of the main findings or projected findings of the research or analysis of primary data. Also consider where the novelty of your research lies and its contribution to and beyond academia.
Implications (practical and social): This section should consider what the potential implications of your research will be for the academic and practitioner community as well as society at large.
Limitations: This section should acknowledge the potential limitations to the research process and, where applicable, make suggestions for prospective research.
Keywords: Mention 5 words that reflect your research.
References: Include a list of key references.
