14th European Congress of Work and Organizational Psychology - Announcement and Call for Papers

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 14^th European Congress of Work and Organizational Psychology, which will be held in Santiago de Compostela (Spain), May 13-16, 2009 under the auspices of the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology (EAWOP). The Congress is organized by the Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Psicólogos (COP), in cooperation with the Faculty of Psychology (University of Santiago) and the COP Galicia.

The theme for the Congress is "Developing people in 21^st century organizations: global and local perspectives", and the aim is to make it possible for researchers and professionals, as well as students, to share and exchange all types of ideas, information and research results from the different fields and approaches of Work and Organizational Psychology and thus promote its development, linking both science and profession.

The Congress will be a great opportunity to reflect upon how are we -organizations and people working with them - going to deal with the new challenges and demands of global processes, remote economies, the construction of Europe, and the national and local demands from a temporary perspective.

It will be a great forum for the expression of new ideas, both theoretical and methodological, without disregarding the contribution of current research being developed in Europe and elsewhere. The subjects highlighted at the Congress reflect emerging as well as well-established topics, therefore contributing to a dialogue between those working on each of them.

The deadline for abstract submission is October 3, 2008. Our aim is to offer a program of interest to scholars as well as practitioners, founded upon research results, exchange of innovative professional experiences, tools and practices, as well as evidence from the field. It will also be a great opportunity to meet other colleagues and to create and strengthen links and bridges among different relevant actors of the Work and Organizational Psychology scene.

Your contribution is important to us, and all submissions can be handled via our homepage (http://www.eawop2009.org), on which you will also find any other information you may need about the Congress.

We are very much looking forward to meeting you in Santiago.

¡Bienvenidos!
