    WELCOME TO ECP 2022

    • Esteemed colleagues,

      It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 17th European Congress of Psychology!

      Slovenia with its capital Ljubljana is located in the heart of central Europe and its culture is defined by being a crossroads between north and south, east and west for more than 2000 years. Ljubljana is the place where different ideas meet and enrich each other.

      The same goes for ECP2022 - organizers and the Scientific Committee are committed to making ECP2022 a place where fresh psychological ideas will meet ideas from other fields of science. Hence the title of the Congress:

      Psychology as the Hub Science: Opportunities and Responsibility

      According to Boyack’s analysis of all scientific journals’ citations Psychology is one of the seven hub sciences (the others are: Math, Physics, Chemistry, Earth sciences, Social sciences and Medicine). So the impact of psychology on other sciences is substantial and important. That brings psychology immense number of Opportunities: collaborations, accelerated growth, influencing, improving services... etc. But also Responsibility: psychological findings are being used by a wide crowd of practitioners from many different fields.

      We are hoping that ECP 2022 not only attracts scholars and practitioners with fresh ideas and insights from all fields of psychology but researchers from other sciences that link to psychology as well. Our goal is to initiate fruitful collaboration and dialog among colleagues and like-minded professionals.

      Students’ day @ ECP2022. The 17th ECP in Ljubljana is making a strong emphasis on attracting psychology students from all over Europe and the world by organizing a special “Students’ congress day”. This day is dedicated to students’ research presentations, workshops, keynote speakers of the students’ choice and of course, partying. The Students’ Day is organized in association with EFPSA and local psychology students’ organizations.

      The 17th European Congress of Psychology is organized by Slovenian Psychologists’ Association under auspices of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) and with support from three mayor Slovenian universities, the Ministry of Education, the Mayor and the City Council of Ljubljana, Slovenian Tourist Board and other prominent organizations.

      ECP2022 will be held at Cankarjev Dom, Slovenia’s major cultural and congress venue. Its size is just right for ECP2022: just big enough not to cram the delegates together and just small enough to prevent the delegates from being lost in the huge amenity. With several foyers and cafés, it provides an ideal location for informal meetings and networking. Most hotels in Ljubljana are located within walking distance from the congress venue. Don’t enjoy walking? Free city transport will be available for all ECP 2022 delegates!

      You’ve probably already heard of Slovenia’s natural beauties and cultural monuments, many of them on UNESCO World Heritage list. Maybe you have visited our beautiful small country before. In any case, we are sure you’ll be glad you have come (back). There is so much more to discover!

      Coming to Ljubljana, Slovenia is easy to navigate, as there are good traffic connections with all means of transport.

      We are confident that our colleagues from all over the world will find their stay in Ljubljana extremely pleasant.

      We are excited about welcoming you in Ljubljana in summer 2022!

      Yours respectfully,

      Marko Vrtovec
      President
      Slovenian Psychologists’ Association

    • The Scientific Program Committee is pleased to invite fellow psychologists and experts from related fields from around the world to present their work at 17th European Congress of Psychology - ECP 2022 and submit the abstracts of their presentations in preparation for the congress.

      The goal of ECP 2022 is to provide a forum in which the wealth of research findings, professional practices and theories in the field of psychology can be reviewed in light of the opportunities, but also the responsibilities that psychology has as a hub science in contemporary society. Given our diverse cultural backgrounds, the lack of social and economic security, the climate crisis, and the mental health issues recently brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, psychology's contributions to society have never been more important.

      The ECP 2022 will provide a stimulating venue for discussing current trends and cutting-edge research, as well as advances in different domains of psychology and related disciplines. We therefore encourage submissions that tackle the ECP’s 2022 major theme “Psychology as a Hub Science” from different angles. Nonetheless, submissions on other topics are also welcome, with sessions on a variety of interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives planned.

      The ECP 2022 offers delegates the opportunity to submit research findings or professional experiences from the field in different formats: symposia, thematic sessions (papers), poster presentations, workshops, and pro et contra debates. In order to create coherent sessions and a grouping of similar papers, authors are asked to choose a thematic track that best describes and most closely matches the content of their abstract(s).

      All of the authors submitting an abstract should read the submission guidelines before submitting an abstract. Abstracts accepted for presentation will be published in the conference proceedings and the special edition of the Slovenian online journal Horizons of Psychology prior to the ECP 2022.


      We look forward to receiving your abstracts and seeing you in Ljubljana in 2022.

      With best regards,

      Mojca Juriševič

      Chair of the Scientific Programme Committee

    • Dear colleagues

      It is with great pleasure that we look forward to the 17th European Congress of Psychology in Ljubljana in 2022.

      Our European Congresses create opportunities for conversation, reflection, and learning. They offer new insights and skills in a collegial and appreciative community. For us as Psychologists, this 17th European Congress of Psychology is an occasion to reflect on our professional competences also in dialogue with other sciences and professions.

      Diverse changes bring special challenges for Psychology. This has just been made clear once again by the time of the pandemic. And the concern for people's lives in freedom and self-determination, as well as the concern for sustainable development, drives us on, also for the time when the pandemic should be over. Psychology is manifold, and with this diversity it offers great possibilities to meet individual problems and societal challenges.

      Psychological theory and practice also reflect the skills of other sciences and professions. The strength of Psychology as a hub science is always a challenge, but also an obligation. The immense challenges facing society demand that we build bridges to other sciences and professions and cooperate intensively with them.

      We all want to use our knowledge and skills in dialogue with other sciences and in cooperation with other professions to help. ECP 2022 invites us to reflect our strengths, to develop our competencies, and to strengthen our identity. This Congress is the best place to celebrate unity of Psychology and to develop its richness in dialogue with other sciences and professions. Psychology helps to connect, especially at the ECP 2022 in Ljubljana!

      We invite empirical papers in any area of psychology, following either quantitative
      or qualitative methodologies. Papers that are descriptive of trends, or describe
      professional issues, are also relevant, as long as they are empirical.

      We also welcome for this special issue, papers that would showcase the empirical
      aspects of the work of international, regional and national psychology bodies (such
      as EFPA committees and working groups or similar structures in other bodies): For
      example, surveys of psychologists, psychology associations or other samples,
      conducted to document a current problem or new development in the domain of the
      working group's scope of activities, descriptive statistics on an issue relevant to
      psychology that is part of outcome reports on the work, or the results of other types
      of small studies (quantitative or qualitative), conducted as part of the group’s
      actions or dissemination activities.

      As per the journal’s policies, we also encourage submissions by early stage
      researchers and involvement of early stage researchers in the review and editorial
      process.

      We are offering a generous promotional APC fee of 500 Euros to participants in this
      Special Issue in order to encourage involvement of EFPA members and
      collaborators with its official open access empirical journal, EJPO.

      Authors who may be facing extreme hardship in covering the reduced APC fee, can
      apply for a fee waiver, the granting of which will be considered but is not guaranteed.
