Preconferences

Call for 2026 EASP Preconference Proposal Submissions

The call for EASP Preconference proposals is now close. The selection of EASP Preconferences will be held between September and October 2025. You will be informed of the selection outcome by 15 October 2025. The list of selected preconferences will be displayed once the selection process is finished.

What is a preconference?

A preconference is a one-day event focusing on a specific theme within social psychology or addressing methodological and epistemological issues relevant to the field.
The format is flexible: organizers may invite speakers directly or launch an open and selective call. Sessions may include talks, blitz presentations, workshops, or any combination thereof.
For reference, you can see the themes from the previous General Meeting here:

What happens if your preconference is selected?

If your proposal is accepted, you will act as chairs of the preconference. This involves:

  1. (If applicable) Preparing and sending a call for talks/blitzs by 30 October 2025, to be shared through GM and EASP communication channels. Abstracts should be submitted directly to the preconference chairs.
  2. (If applicable) Reviewing submitted abstracts and notifying selected presenters by early February 2026.
  3. Sending the final list of speakers to the EASP Preconference Team by 28 February 2026.

How is registration managed?

All preconference participants—including chairs and speakers—will need to register via the GM registration portal.
A registration fee of €60 will apply to cover organizational costs (room rental, lunch, and coffee breaks).

Preconferences will be open to the entire EASP community.
Priority registration will be given to speakers, as communicated by the chairs to the Preconference Team.
Any remaining slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

If chairs have additional funding, they may independently choose to reimburse participants’ preconference fees (separate from the GM organization).
