Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce our call for abstracts for a Small Group Meeting on the topic “Fair and inclusive workplaces in times of changing societal climates”, which we are organizing with the support of the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology (EAWOP) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

This Small Group Meeting (SGM) aims to bring together work and organizational psychology researchers examining the psychological foundations of fairness and inclusion in workplaces. Across Europe and beyond, organizations operate in a rapidly changing and often unstable societal climate. While many organizations seek to foster fair treatment and inclusive work environments, these efforts increasingly coexist with social, political, and economic forces that question, constrain, or resist such initiatives. Understanding how fairness and inclusion can be meaningfully achieved requires theoretically grounded and empirically informed research that accounts for societal context, organizational practice, and individual experience.

A key goal is to foster collaboration between early-career and senior scholars and to encourage international exchange among researchers working in diverse societal contexts. Planned outcomes include the development of collaborative research projects, joint funding applications, and a special issue proposal.

The program includes keynotes, talks, poster sessions, and interactive exchanges between participants.

Abstract length: max. 500 words

Submission deadline: 5 June 2026
