Description
The European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) seeks to appoint three Social Psychology Ambassadors to promote the discipline in European regions, broadly defined, with less developed academic infrastructure or representation of social psychology. The scheme also supports work on regional topics that have received less attention in mainstream social psychology, or a combination of these aims.
The two-year ambassadorship supports innovative ways to connect researchers, engage policy makers and communities, and conduct initial research on neglected topics. Activities should increase regional, topical, and research-approach diversity within EASP, transfer knowledge and skills, and support ambassadors’ local or regional academic careers and their collaborators. Ambassadors are expected to build networks and make social psychology visible and useful to new academic and societal audiences, rather than deliver a standalone research project.
