European Bulletin of Social Psychology (2015/27,3)

Dear EASP members

Before you stands the newly refurbished bulletin of the European Association of Social Psychology. The bulletin retains the content it had before, but now comes to you in an interactive email that links to the relevant pages on the website. The website has also been refurbished. We have retained key elements of the bulletin and of the website, but endeavoured to modernize and increase the functionality of these two central media to improve how we function, how we profile ourselves as an association, and our ability to showcase our member’s activities. This is still work in progress and there will certainly be some teething troubles in the first few months, but we hope that you agree that this is a valuable improvement.

Your executive committee
Manuela Barreto, Kai Sassenberg, Jean-Claude Croizet, Torun Lindholm, Ernestine Gordijn, Mara Cadinu, Daniel Wigboldus, and Sibylle Classen

General Meeting

We are pleased to announce that the next General Meeting of EASP – where we will celebrate 50 years of our association – will take place 5 to 8 July 2017, in Granada, Spain! This outstanding location emerged as the favourite out of the record number of 7 applications received by the executive committee for the organization of this meeting. The meeting will be organized by a fantastic local team, led by our colleagues Rosa Rodriguez Bailon and Miguel Moya. Thank you both! 

A call for the programme committee has been issued through our mailing list. If you are interested in applying or nominating someone else, please get in touch with Sibylle Classen.

Opinions and Perspectives

ERC grants currently are the most prestigious and competitive research funds. Thomas Webb shares his experience of applying and obtaining an ERC starting grant, hoping that his story will encourage social psychologists to follow his path.

What are the challenges facing social psychology ? In June 2015, UK social psychologists met at the London School of Economics to discuss the past, present and future of our discipline.
