There are different procedures for Symposia and for All Submissions except Symposia.

We welcome submissions of papers, posters and symposia from both academics and practitioners. We have also introduced some new submission categories to the programme including some short presentations (7 minute science) and demonstrations of interventions. In addition selected poster presenters will be invited to give a 2 minute “lightning talk” to introduce congress delegates to the topic of their poster.
See below for details of the requirements for each submission type.

As has been the case at recent Congresses, presentations at EAWOP 2022 are necessarily limited in number by the time available as well as the number of parallel sessions that are desirable. We have therefore sought to develop ideas for new modes of presenting in order to make the conference more accessible but also more participative and exciting.
EAWOP is strongly in favour of the principles of Open Science and thus it is expected that every opportunity to network and share should be taken. For example, the audience for posters or papers should have easy access wherever possible to presenter contact details and the slides/materials used or discussed. One way to achieve this is to use a web source for slides and further information such as recent papers or papers-in-preparation. This can be easily done using a printed or projected QR-code.
There are some new approaches to presentation suggested for EAWOP 2022. Please take time to look through the full set of possible presentations before deciding on your own target/s for submissions. Remember:
When you submit, the system will request a range of information that is important to the organising committee for various operational purposes and these are required fields. We would expect that reviews will be completed online within a four-week window.
If you experience any particular challenges that cannot be dealt with by reading the Submissions section, please email [email protected].
These are multi-presenter sessions that should be collaborative in nature, e.g.:
(a) Science
(b) Practice
(c) Science & Practice
(d) Science & Practice & Client/End User
A Symposium provides reports of empirical research, innovative practice, and/or theoretical advances. Ideally it demonstrates real world impact or potential for impact. A Symposium must have participants from at least two different countries and/or from academics and practitioners.
Each Symposium has a chairperson/convenor (who may also be a presenter) and three to five presenters, or three to four presenters and a discussant. The person submitting the symposium proposal is designated as the symposium chair.
The time allocation is up to a maximum of 60 minutes based on 10 minutes per speaker or discussant plus 10 minutes Q&A.
Each contribution to the symposium, in the form of a 750-word Abstract per element, must be submitted by the Lead person through the on-line system. As an example, a symposium with four speakers would require the lead person to submit an overall symposium Abstract plus four presenter Abstracts, with personal details for all four people. If there is also a separate discussant, the details for that person must be provided but no Abstract is required.
The Symposium Abstracts should cover:
The overall Symposium Abstract (500 words) is structured:
Abstracts (750 words) of an empirical oral presentation in a Symposium are structured:
Abstracts (750 words) of a theoretical oral presentation in a Symposium are structured:

Examples of symposia submissions
– A collection of presentations discussing empirical work or a combination of empirical and theoretical work about a common topic or research question.
– A collection of presentations discussing actual or potential work that implements WOP techniques or addresses WOP issues in organizations. These might include discussing new challenges in the work environment and innovative solutions to these challenges using the principles of WOP psychology.
– A collection of presentations focusing on a single collaboration or on multiple collaborative efforts between academics and practitioners and clients/end users. The focus could be on the issues related to conducting such collaborations or the results of such collaborations.
Oral contribution that can be:
Oral presentations are expected to deliver innovative research or practice projects.
Presentation time is 15 minutes per contribution including three minutes for questions and discussion.
Submissions are made in the form of a 750-word Abstract along with required personal details.
Abstracts (750 words) of a 15-minute oral presentation are structured:
Single presenter sessions that can be:
These are oral presentations presenting innovative research or practice where the presentation time is 7-minutes per contribution and the aim is to explain the key points as if to an intelligent lay audience, thus giving a short and precise coverage of a topic. They are often very high energy and fun sessions.
A maximum of 10 slides can be used
Abstracts (500 words) of a 7-minute Science oral presentation are structured:
Posters can cover:
Posters are short research or innovative practice presentations that ideally use only 300 words and supporting graphics, but with a maximum of 500 words. Posters are required to be in A0 size portrait format (width = 841 x height = 1189 mm).
Abstracts (500 words) for a Printed Poster are structured:
A limited number of accepted Posters will be selected by the Programme Committee and posters with some commonality will be grouped together in interactive poster sessions, facilitated by a Chairperson and designed to encourage discussion and sharing of multiple perspectives.
At the beginning, each presenter has exactly 2-minutes to get across the key points about their poster. A brief informal discussion (questions, comments, etc.) follows this introduction and then audience members can visit posters and interact with the presenters.
These sessions will include up to 4 panellists and one facilitator, discussing a controversial topic from different perspectives.
These will typically be 60-minute sessions, with 45 minutes guided discussion/debate, followed by 15 minutes open discussion. There is the option to glean questions in advance and/or during the event using SLIDO. Other ways to structure a panel are of course welcome.
Submissions will require a 750-word Abstract which clearly justifies inclusion in the programme and identifies the expertise of panellists plus their positions on the controversial topic.
Abstracts (750 words) for a Panel submission are structured:
These sessions allow practical demonstrations of an intervention, technique or product in 30 to 45 minutes. There is expected to be minimal description and there must be an interactive element for the audience. Support materials should be available for later reference.
Examples of possible structures of a Demonstration
Mindfulness
New Psychometric Instrument
