Congratulations to all award winners!

Given that the Executive Committee of EASP has decided to rename the awards, a new initiative to honour the founders of the EASP, other important European social psychologists, their research groups, and their ideas has been started. The EASP launches a website summarizing the history of social psychology in Europe and invites you to contribute.
