End of Registrations
Dear psychology students, finally we have ended the registration and we are as good as done with selecting the participants for the congress. There have been over 440 applications and sadly we only have 240 beds to give away. We hope that the people who have been approved are happy and looking forward too the congress (??? :-) ). If you have not been selected, there is a small chance you can be selected after others cancel their applications. Anyway, we would like to thank all of you for your applicatoins and we hope that we will see you at some time at one of the other EFPSA events. Through http://www.efpsa.org you can find information about for example the EFPSA summerschool, the Journal of European Psychology Students (JEPS) and our Travel Network! If you want to actively take part in creating an amazing exprience you can also contact your NR to ask how you can help out or to propose organising an international Exchange :-) Best wishes to all and take care!
Scientific programme EFPSA congress 2010 update! (18 January 2010)
As you already know, Professor Van Oudenhoven and Professor Bekkering will be lecturers at the 24th EFPSA congress. They will kick off the science programme on the morning of Tuesday the 20th of april, a great reason to get out of bed the morning after cultural evening!
Now, more lecturers have confirmed. For example Tom ter Bogt, is professor of Popular Music and Youth Culture at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. He studied cultural psychology and philosophy at the University of Nijmegen, and received his PhD with a study on Weber’s Protestant Work Ethic in the Netherlands. He has published on work ethic, music taste, youth culture and substance use. He has written several books and a television series on the history of youth culture and pop music in the Netherlands. Recent research covers substance use, music taste development, and the link between media preferences and adolescent problem behavior. In his lecture at the EFPSA congress he will tell us all about the relationship between music preference and adolescent problem behavior, more specifically; substance abuse. Many prejudices exist in this field, which makes this subject very Free Your Mind-like! His lecture is planned on Friday morning the 23rd, at 10:00 AM, make sure you wake up on time so you don’t miss this great lecturer!
