SPSP joint summer school - opportunity for EASP members

We are inviting talented and motivated PhD students who would like to attend a summer school in social and personality psychology to apply to the 2027 Summer Institute for Social and Personality Psychology (SISPP).

EASP and SPSP agreed to offer 5 seats to the summer school of the other institution, respectively. In July 2025, 5 students selected by SPSP joined our summer school hosted at the University of Kent in Canterbury. Now the opportunity to participate in the 2027 SPSP summer school arises for EASP members.

SISPP is a unique opportunity for 100 pre-doctoral psychology students to immerse themselves in a course taught by renown instructors as well as take statistics and methodology workshops. Students also participate in group collaboration through in-depth workshops and make lifelong connections with experts while expanding their understanding of social and personality psychology. SISPP alumni are now prevalent across academia as well as in government roles and at private companies.

2027 SISPP takes place the University of California, Berkeley, tentatively scheduled for July 11–22, 2027.
The fee is $350 USD, which covers tuition, housing in university accommodations (shared bedroom, shared bathroom), and meals. Students are responsible for their travel to and from SISPP.

EASP is supporting travel costs with up to 750€ per student.
