Take part to our questionnaire on "Environment study and training opportunities" now!!!

Download here ths first results of the questionnaire! (Excel doc)

One of the priorities of the IAPS Board is to encourage more young researchers to join and be active within IAPS.

Apart from special student rates for joining the Association (half the normal cost) (http://www.iaps-association.org/JoinIAPS.html) and reduced rates for attending conferences, we have instituted a Young Researcher Award which recognises the best paper from a young researcher at the IAPS Conference.

We also have a Doctoral Student Workshop linked to the Conference at which doctoral students can discuss their work with leading EB researchers and fellow students in a supportive environment.

We encourage Young Researchers to join and participate in the activity of IAPS networks (link to http://www.iaps-association.org/networks.html).

IAPS Doctoral Workshop
Doctoral Workshops are held prior to the IAPS conferences. They are intended to give to doctoral students of all People-Environment disciplines opportunity to discuss their dissertation proposal or their on-going work with leading researchers and professors in areas related to their thesis, as well as to build international networks with other doctoral students. Also, during workshops, informal meetings are favoured.

IAPS Research Award
The best paper presented at the workshop wins a 5 years free IAPS membership. Winners are also invited to publish their paper in IAPS Bulletin and post-conference book.
The winners of the past conferences are:

	IAPS 19 IN ALEXANDRIA Maggie Butchart School of Nursing & Midwifery University of Dundee, UK Title of the Paper: "Window View and the Birth Environment"
	IAPS 18 IN VIENNA - EAST MEETS WEST The 2004 IAPS Research Award was conferred to: MARIA JOHANSSON [Lund Institute of Technology, Dept. of Environmental Psychology, Sweden] "Local People's Motives for Biodiversity Conservation"
