Why become an EAPP member
EAPP Membership Benefits
Supporting personality psychology through opportunities, collaboration, diversity, and international exchange.
EAPP is committed to promoting personality psychology within Europe and beyond. To fulfil its mission of fostering diversity and inclusion, a core aspect of the association’s work is supporting EAPP members through a wide range of initiatives.
These initiatives may support different groups of researchers, but together they provide many valuable reasons to become an EAPP member. Members receive a range of benefits and preferential opportunities, including reduced conference fees, access to specialist resources, and the possibility to submit proposals for selected programmes and initiatives.
EAPP is currently the only scientific association focused entirely on personality psychology that offers such a comprehensive package of benefits, resources, and opportunities to its members.
