EAPP Awards 2018
The European Association of Personality Psychology (EAPP) promotes honouring and recognizing scientific achievements by awarding researchers at various career levels. Since 2012, EAPP has implemented a system of three awards focusing on different career stages. The purpose of these awards is to raise the visibility of personality psychology both to the scientific community as well as to the general public.

The EAPP has tradition to award poster presentation of the highest quality since the 9th European Conference on Personality (Guilford, UK, 1998). The purpose of these awards is to increase the importance, impact and quality of poster presentations.
