We strongly encourage school psychologists (practitioners and scholars) to submit papers, posters, symposia, or workshops to the Scientific Committee.

Abstracts should be approximately 250 words in length. They must be submitted in English. However, if you are presenting in French, an English and French abstract are required.

Pour les personnes qui désirent faire une présentation en français, nous vous prions de bien vouloir  envoyer votre abstract en anglais et d'ajouter la version française sur le même document (environs 250 mots par version). Vous trouvez les formats des présentations ici.

Papers

The purpose of a paper presentation is to present research findings and innovative practices on a given theme or sub-theme (Format: 20 to 30 minutes  for each paper, including questions from participants). Papers should report on recent developments in applied educational or school psychology in relation to the theme or a sub theme of the conference.

Posters

The purpose is to offer a visual display of data, in an attractive way, on a given poster space (1x2 m) about any topic (e.g., research findings, evaluation, intervention, prevention programmes, education and school psychology data, national and international) but always more or less related to the main theme.

Poster sessions are part of the scientific programme and authors and/or presenters are generally invited to stand near their poster during the session (max.120 minutes) in order to give additional information and discussion to interested participants.

Presenters should also offer additional information (leaflets, or brochures) to take away.
Posters should be in English, but other languages can be used in addition to the English version (the same poster or take-away leaflets can be in the authors' native language as well).

Symposia

A symposium permits discussion of a main topic from various points of view. A co-ordinator is responsible for inviting presenters to speak (Format: one co-ordinator and two or more invited presenters, with 20 minutes each for presentation).

Workshops

The purpose of a workshop is to enable a practitioner, researcher, or other educational professional  to present specific new techniques, methods and tools for psychologists from a practical point of view in relation to the conference theme (Format: 60 to 120 minutes, involving interactive and co-operative activities and discussions among a limited number of participants. In some instances, the participants may need to register in advance).
