    Dear colleagues,

     

    Submissions have now opened for the first Australian Psychology Society (APS) Congress. As National Chair of the APS College of Organisational Psychologists, I would like to invite you to attend.

     

    The Congress is set to be a major showcase for Psychology in Australia. Themed "United for the Future" the 2016 APS Congress culminates as a show of unity and strength of the profession celebrating growth of all the constituent sectors of psychology within Australia over the last 50 years.

     

    The program will contain richness of content, developed in collaboration with all Colleges, Divisions and Interest Groups of the Australian Psychological Society. It is the must attend professional event in 2016 for all academics involved in psychological or workplace research.

     

    Of particular interest, the Congress also has a strong Organisational Psychology stream which will accept submissions on a wide range of topics. The Congress organising committee invite submissions for the following presentation types:

    • Individual research papers (15 minutes)
    • Posters
    • How to' session (45 minutes /90 minutes)
    • Professional forum (45 minutes / 90 minutes)
    • Symposia (45 minutes / 90 minutes)
    • Interest Group Session (45 minutes / 90 minutes)
    • Workshops (half day – 3 CPD hours)
    • Rapid Presentations

    The deadline for submission of abstracts is midnight, Sunday February 14 2016. I would also appreciate it if you could circulate this message among your professional network.
