16th European Conference on Personality
EAPP Scholarship: ECP16The European Association of Personality Psychology (EAPP), in cooperation with the ECP16 Scientific Committee, is offering twenty scholarships to support postgraduate students and young researchers. The financial assistance concerns a reduction of the conference fee and/or costs of accommodation during the conference.

Eligibility for Scholarships
Applications are invited from postgraduate students from all countries who wish to attend the ECP16, but have limited access to financial resources. This opportunity is also extended to early career researchers, i.e., up to 3 years after PhD, who have no permanent position.
Applicants are expected to submit an abstract of a presentation (poster or oral presentation) at the conference. It is expected that the applicant will be the first author of the submission and the presenting author as well.
Scholarships
The scholarships will be granted in two categories:
- 10 scholarships for postgraduate students and early career researchers from low income countries
(see ECP16 registration fees for details) who are in need for financial support in order to attend the
conference; this criterion will be combined with quality of the submitted proposal to assign
scholarships.
- 10 scholarships for postgraduate students and early career researchers based on excellence:
significant results in research (CV) and quality of the submitted proposal will be evaluated.
- Applicants who have never been assigned an EAPP scholarship in the past will be favored.
