Invitation and call for submissions for the 34th Conference of the European Association for Aviation Psychology (Sunborn Yacht Hotel, Gibraltar)
The Scientific Committee of the European Association for Aviation Psychology (EAAP) is excited to announce the FIRST CALL for the next biannual EAAP conference. The conference will be held from 28th September to 2nd October 2020.
The 2020 conference theme “Building Bridges — Enabling Human Performance” is inspired by recent activities by the EAAP Board to build upon strategic partnerships with professional aviation organisations around the globe. We are forming new links with South America, Asia and national European aviation psychology associations. EAAP has also built new bridges with several specialised European aviation organisations in order to support and enable human performance.
Aviation Psychology is thriving and the number of members and supporting organisations outside Europe is growing significantly.
The 34th EAAP Conference will provide a platform to strengthen not only these new strategic partnerships, but all partnerships developed over the last few years.
Goals & target audience
EAAP is very much committed to ensuring a high scientific level for the 34th conference by inviting specialists from universities and research & development organisations to present their studies. At the same time, we would like to invite key stakeholders and practitioners to not only take part, but also to exchange both their experience and their research.
Individuals and/or teams from universities, research institutions, airlines, air forces, air navigation service providers, airports, manufacturers, maintenance facilities, regulators, bureaus of air safety investigation, and any others in the aviation system are invited to submit an abstract for a scientific paper or poster.
Call for Papers and Posters
Topics of interest are focused on, but not limited to:
Human performance
Aviation mental health & wellbeing
Safety culture and organizational learning
Selection and training
The tradition of the Best Poster Award will be continued! The award will be presented at the end of the conference.
Please note that presentation is not required for participation.
Half-day skill-based workshops
In addition, we would like to invite submissions for half-day interactive, skills-based workshops. The workshops can be targeted towards starters in the field of aviation but also towards experienced professionals wanting to deepen their skills on specific topics. For more information on this, please contact conferences@eaap.net.
