EAPP Scholarship

The European Association of Personality Psychology (EAPP), in cooperation with the ECP15 Organizing Committee, is offering twenty scholarships to support postgraduate students and early career researchers who have limited access to financial resources to attend the ECP15. The financial assistance concerns a reduction of the conference fee and/or costs of accommodation during the conference.
Those who want to apply for funding should present a poster or paper at the ECP15. Applications by letter or email should be sent at the conference address before the 15th of February 2010.

Eligibility for Scholarships

Applications are invited from postgraduate students from all countries who wish to attend the ECP15. This opportunity is also extended to early career researchers (up to 5 years post-PhD) and those who cannot access other support funds.
Applicants are expected to submit an abstract of a presentation at the conference (note that the closing date for individual abstracts is February 15th, 2010). Forms of presentation include a poster or part of a paper symposium. It is expected that the applicant will be the presenter, i.e. the first author of the submission.

Scholarships

The scholarships will be granted in two categories:

Scholarships for postgraduate students and early career researchers from countries that rank below 50 on the 2009/2010 HDI Ranking ( see http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/) who are in need for financial support in order to attend the conference.
Scholarships for postgraduate students and early career researchers based on significant results in research and publication.
Quality of submitted abstract will be evaluated.

The scholarship will cover :

Conference registration fee (150 EUR)
Proportion of travel/accommodation costs AND/OR ticket for conference dinner (all in all 250 EUR)

The selection committee will be chaired by Professor Marek Blatný (Academy of Science of the Czech Republic).
