Expert Meetings

Purpose of expert meetings

The purpose of these meetings will be to:
a) contribute to the critical assessment of knowledge and of new developments in personality psychology;
b) identify promising new directions for future research;
c) provide an advanced level forum for intensive discussion on cutting edge issues in personality psychology and related disciplines between qualified experts and selected young researchers.
d) promote the exchange of ideas and research co-operation between EAPP personality psychologists and scientists from related disciplines and scientific associations.
