11th ANNUAL
ARPH CONFERENCE 2022
16 & 17 June 2022 | Egmond aan Zee
WELCOME
Dear colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the eleventh (10th real life) annual conference of the Association for Researchers in Psychology and Health (ARPH). Differently from all previous occasions, which have been held during the winter months, the ARPH conference of this year will be held at the end of spring, on June 16 and 17, 2022.
Hopefully the weather will provide us with the perfect scenery to connect research to strolling the beach, as the conference will be held at the seaside village Egmond aan Zee, in Hotel Zuiderduin. The conference will be hosted by members of the board of the Association for Researchers in Psychology and Health.
We would like to extend a warm invitation to the conference, to exchange state-of-art research findings and innovative approaches concerning the field of psychology and health. By meeting fellow researchers throughout the field, the conference provides ample opportunities to inspire, exchange ideas and form collaborations.
In addition to traditional presentation formats such as symposia, oral and poster presentations, the program will facilitate interactive engagement of both junior and more senior researchers like workshops and the Meet a Mentor program. We are especially pleased to announce our distinguished keynote speakers at the conference:
- Prof.dr. Andrea Evers (Leiden University)
- Prof.dr. Rens van der Schoot (Utrecht University)
- Prof.dr. Falko Sniehotta (University of Heidelberg, University of Newcastle)
We look forward to welcoming you in Egmond aan Zee upcoming June for an inspiring conference!
