Expert Meetings on Personality Psychology
The European Association of Personality Psychology encourages the organization of small scientific meetings of experts in the area of personality research. EAPP will financially support one meeting a year, although the Executive Committee (EC) of the association will exercise discretion on this rule. Expert meeting will be funded with a maximum of € 5000.
Applications for a grant will be reviewed and a final decision will be made at the next EC meeting. In even-numbered years applications should be sent to the EAPP secretary by the 31th of January, in odd-numbered years by the 31th of October.
Expert Meeting «Virtues, Values and Personality»
Organizers: Jan Pieter van Oudenhoven & Boele de Raad
Date: October 28-30, 2009
Venue: Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (www.knir.it)
Purpose of meeting: There is a growing interest among personality psychologists, social psychologists and cross-cultural psychologists in moral and evaluational motivational principles and their relation to personality. Virtues, in particular, are concepts that have drawn the attention of personality psychologists over the last decades, but are fashionable again because of positive psychology and evolutionary psychology. It is the purpose of the meeting to bring together personality psychologists and some colleagues from other related disciplines with a strong interest in this topic.
Participants: 20 to 25
Costs: There will be no fee, and meals will be (almost) complementary. Participants do, however, have to arrange their lodging and to pay their hotel costs.
Abstracts: You are invited to apply for this meeting by sending an abstract of your possible contribution to Boele de Raad (b.de.raad@rug.nl) or Jan Pieter van Oudenhoven (j.p.l.m.van.oudenhoven@rug.nl). You will be informed about acceptance within a couple of weeks. Deadline for submissions: June 1, 2009.
