We are pleased to invite you to the WAOP 2023 conference! 

The conference will take place at the Forum in Groningen on November 24, 2023 and will be organized by the Department of Organizational Psychology (Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences) together with the Department HRM/OB (Faculty of Business and Economics) at the University of Groningen.

We aim to compose an inspiring conference program, including interesting thematic sessions and opportunities to exchange thoughts and network with researchers and practitioners.

We are happy to announce that Prof. dr. Bettina S. Wiese (RWTH Aachen University, Institute for Psychology), an expert on career transitions and self-management, will give a keynote on ‘Motives and goals of early-career scientists’.

The entire conference program will be published on the website on October 30th at the latest.

We will feature two types of sessions. Besides the traditional research sessions, we will organize practitioner sessions that aim to facilitate a stronger relationship between researchers and practitioners in the field.
