EAWOP Opens Call for Small Group Meeting Grants
CALL FOR PROPOSALS - deadline is January 15th, 2026,
We are now looking for suggestions for Small-Group Meetings 2026.
EAWOP is pleased to announce the new Call for Proposals for Small Group Meetings (SGMs) — an initiative that continues the EAWOP commitment to promote collaboration, innovation, and community among Work and Organizational Psychologists across Europe.
EAWOP’s mission is to promote and support the development of Work and Organizational Psychology (WOP) throughout Europe. One way to achieve this is by encouraging psychologists to explore shared interests and build cross-national networks. In line with this goal, Small Group Meetings (SGMs) provide a unique platform for 20–25 international participants to engage in focused discussions on key themes, bridging research, practice, and policy.
EAWOP members interested in applying for the SGM are invited to apply to the EAWOP Executive Committee (EC.) by email to Carolina Moliner: carolina.moliner@eawop.org The submission deadline is January 15th, 2026, and decisions will be communicated during the first week of February 2026.
Early Career Researchers Mentoring Grant
EAWOP LAUNCHES - “EAWOP CARES ME"
EAWOP is pleased to announce the launch of the EAWOP CARES ME (Early CAreer RESearchers MEntoring) Grant, an initiative designed to support the growth and international collaboration of early career researchers in Work and Organizational Psychology (WOP).
In line with EAWOP’s mission to promote and support the development of WOP in Europe, this grant provides early career researchers with the opportunity to design and carry out a new research project under the guidance of a more senior researcher — based in a different country and outside their PhD supervision network.
The outcomes of the funded projects will be presented at the next EAWOP Congress in Lyon, May 2027. Projects may extend previous PhD work or build upon earlier research, and ongoing projects are also eligible, provided the connection with the applicant’s doctoral or prior research is clear.
EAWOP members interested in applying for the EAWOP CARES ME Grant are invited to submit their applications to the EAWOP Executive Committee (EC).
For more information contact Carolina Moliner:
The submission deadline is January 15th, 2026, and decisions will be communicated during the first week of February 2026.
