YOUNG SCIENTISTS PROGRAM

ICP 2008 hosts a Young Scientists Program as part of its scientific program. The main goals of the Young Scientists Program are to enhance communication between young scientists from different countries and diverse cultural backgrounds, to promote exchange of knowledge between senior and younger scientists, and to help younger scientists to acquire new insights
into special areas of psychology and into psychology at large.

The Young Scientists Program is generously sponsored by the Jacobs Foundation, Zürich, Switzerland.

Activities within the Young Scientists Program include:

The Networking Market: The Networking Market provides the opportunity to exchange ideas and to build up longer-term networks among the participating young scientists. To facilitate communication around specific topics, participants present a poster that summarizes their research area and research questions.

The Networking Market will take place on Monday, 21 July, 09.00 – 11.00 h in the foyer in front of hall 9.

Panel discussion ‘Developing an academic career’: The roundtable discussion will address pressing issues on career opportunities as a psychologist. Panelists will include scientists from diverse research settings from all over the world.
