Ever wondered what it takes to be an entrepreneur?
The professional and personal challenges, the high and lows, the failures and the success?
Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 400 past events in 100 countries around the world in 2011.
The non-profit organization is headquartered in Seattle, Washington but Startup Weekend organizers and facilitators can be found in over 200 cities around the world. From Mongolia to South Africa to London to Brazil, people around the globe are coming together for weekend long workshops to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, register now for the best weekend of your life!
Startup Weekends are 54-hour events where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products and launch startups!
Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend's attendees have technical or design backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams focus on customer development, validating their ideas, practicing LEAN Startup Methodologies and building a minimal viable product. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.

DUBLIN — Teachers and parents are taking to the streets Tuesday evening with a candlelight march to protest the lack of progress in deadlocked contract negotiations between the teachers union and the Dublin school district.
The march is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Dublin High School performing arts center, 8151 Village Parkway, and end up three blocks away at the school board meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the Dublin Unified School District offices, 7471 Larkdale Ave.
Negotiations over pay and benefits have reached an impasse, and a state mediator has been called in to assist with talks, which are scheduled to resume Thursday, according to Robbie Kreitz, president of the Dublin Teachers Association.
The teachers contend their pay ranks low when compared to salaries in similar school districts, and that teachers pay more out-of-pocket for benefits than in neighboring school districts.
"Students lose out when quality Dublin teachers leave for better pay and respect in neighboring districts," Kreitz said.
Eric Heins, president of the 325,000-member California Teachers Association, will be among the speakers at the start of the march.

One of the hardest parts of moving through my husband's infidelity for me is the memories that crop up unexpectedly and take my breath away yet again. Some memories are of things that I have found, texts of endearments and naked bodies, presents for these other women. Some memories are of things that we have done together as a family while the women lingered, obscure, in the background. When I look at pictures of our family vacation, for instance, a thought that goes through my head, never fail, at some point is Was my husband talking to one of those women that day? Was he sending them pictures? Was he making them a part of our memories? Was he making plans with them? These thoughts come unbidden as if they have a will of their own, as if someone else were giving them to me as some sort of awful gift. I want to eventually be able to look at our family pictures again, without the shadow of my husband's infidelity creeping in. I hope someday that I can do that, but I am not there yet.
Most often memories of my husband's infidelity will materialize when my mental defense are down. First thing in the morning when I am groggy and my mind is refocusing on the world, the memories of what I have found will surface unbidden. Sometimes, even when I wake feeling refreshed, I'll think to myself "wasn't there something…." and that's all it takes for a vibrant memory to come back and sting me. Usually, I just force myself out of bed to the coffeemaker and begin the day–"the cure for grief is motion," as Elbert Hubbard says.
So I try hard to push these thoughts and memories out of my mind, to stop looking at the pictures of his hands on another woman's flesh and stop hearing my husband call another woman "his darling hummingbird" (one of my favorite animals, by the way, so that an extra pin through my heart). Somedays I can do this with relative ease, some days not at all.
There are a lot of memories, far more than I want. I wish I could get rid of them, but they are a part of my life now; I can't unsee what I have seen. Yet, in a perverse way, part of me wishes I knew more, as if such torturous knowledge of the past can help preserve me from pain in the future, but I know this is an urge leading me towards self-destruction. This is, perhaps, one of the most difficult aspects of infidelity for me to manage. Fortunately, it is one that I at least have some control over. I came up with some principles for myself that I try very hard, even now, to adhere to:
- The explicit details of what exactly he did physically with these other women does not matter. That he touched them at all does.
- How many pictures of himself naked or role playing that my husband sent to these other women doesn't matter. That he even sent one picture does. The converse hold true as well—how many pictures of these women he received doesn't matter. The fact that he encouraged any to be sent does.
- Similarly, what pet names my husband and these women used for each other does not matter, "dearest," "my darling," whatever (except for the hummingbird one. That one feels like a personal slight). That they exist does matter. (Quite frankly, I wish I had not read the hummingbird one. It now coexists with my favor for the animal.)
- How much money was spent does not matter (provided it was not exorbitant). That any was spent does.
- The exact day of first contact does not matter. The duration of the relationship does.
The theme here is that knowing such things exist and actually seeing them are different matters. I don't need to see to know they exist. I don't need to see because I can never unsee. I don't need to see because seeing can corrupt my personal pleasures.
A further principle that I would add to this is your partner should be willing to honestly and thoroughly answer any questions you have about what happened. What matters at this point is not what painful tidbits that s/he shares. What matters is your partner's willingness to share completely and utterly without trying to hide anything else. My husband did not do this, and his failure to do so makes the process of reconciliation harder, even more than a year later.
The night that I first saw the text messages on his phone from his other women, I forwarded them to myself. I am not quite sure what compelled me to do this, except perhaps that I am one for collecting evidence. The next morning when I asked to see his texts so that I could better understand his betrayal, he handed over his phone. All that remained of the months and months of messages were the cute and funny memes that they had sent to one another. "See it was mostly harmless," he said, trying to cover his tracks and minimize the damage he caused. I am not sure if he realized at the time that in that action, he was continuing and deepening his betrayal. Months later, I would discover an entirely new set of betrayals that he had managed to keep hidden, and I would be forced to start the whole processes of grieving our relationship again. His secret damaged us far more than the truth would have.
With infidelity, there is a lots to sort out, whether you chose to stay in your relationship or not. Most of the finer details really don't matter. They are all hurtful. They will all haunt you and you cannot unsee or unhear. I saw enough to get a real idea of what was going on, but what I saw still haunts me every single day. I am thankful that I did not see more.

It's Loneliness Awareness Week and this years' focus is on reducing the stigma around loneliness. 60% of UK employees have felt lonely at work and research shows that loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. 42% of us say that we don't have a single close work colleague, which is quite alarming when the UK also work the longest hours in the EU.
As social creatures, connections with others are fundamental to our daily existence and something we must attend to as they give us meaning and purpose to our lives. We spend on average 8 hours a day with our colleagues, so how is it that we can still is feel lonely? One of the first steps to reducing the stigma is to raise awareness by talking about the causes of loneliness and ways to combat it. Let's take a look at some of the ways you can reduce loneliness in the workplace.
- Communication
We rely on emails, LinkedIn and WhatsApp messages to communicate quickly throughout the day. All are highly convenient and allow for instant communication without the inconvenience of actually having to speak to someone. Emails and texts aren't half as personable so we trick ourselves into thinking we're getting the right amount of social interaction but really we can often still feel lonely with the lack of face-to-face interaction with others.
One face-to-face interaction is said to be more successful than 34 email exchanges. So next time you reach to send an email or instant message ask yourself first, could I walk over to their desk to ask the question? Could I call them instead? The more connected we become digitally, the further apart we grow emotionally so embrace face-to-face interaction when you can.
- Ask someone out for lunch
UK workers are reported to work on average 42 hours a week, the longest in the EU. We sacrifice lunch breaks and have a 'head-down' attitude to get the job done. For many of us though, having workplace friendships is integral to our day-to-day happiness. 68% of workers aged 16-24 describe workplace enjoyment as "having great colleagues I enjoy spending time with" and 61% of people believe that loneliness hinders their performance at work.
Try asking a colleague out for lunch with you – don't wait for them to ask you. Having a close work companion has been proven to improve productivity, employee loyalty and motivation.
- Drinks run
Hot desking is now a common trait of office life, meaning it can be much harder to build relationships as you never know who you'll be sitting with next. 59% of UK adults say that work is the most common cause of stress and poor work relationships can contribute to this.
Sometimes we have to give a little in order for people to open up to us so offer to make others a cup of tea when you next get up to make your own. As humans, we're driven to form tighter bonds with people who we perceive to be "like us", and so offering to make a drink for your office neighbour will open up the chance for conversation and increase the likelihood of forming a tighter bond.
- Collaboration
Don't be afraid to turn to your colleagues to ask for advice on a project that you're working on. It's a good way to open up conversation and even get insight from an individual with an outsider's perspective. They may even wish to share with you the projects they're working on to gain your feedback and insight.
Speaking to colleagues about projects is also a chance to complement one another. Everyone likes to receive a complement once in a while and giving others positive feedback about their work increases is one of the easiest ways to increase the likelihood of forming friendships.
- Social Activities
The combination of long hours, tight deadlines and pressurised environments can make it very appealing to slip off straight after work and head home, missing the Friday night office drinks. Saying yes once in a while is great way to meet people outside of your team, make yourself more visible and consequently more likely to be invited to future social happenings.
If the pub isn't so much your thing, what about joining the company sports team? Find something else that interests you that involves spending time with other colleagues to build a better bond and it will also give you something to talk about when you return to the office.
Finally, stay persistent. Don't be put off if your efforts to engage with your co-works aren't reciprocated straight away. Some office cultures take time to change but if you're consistent and open, then you're sure to make a difference.

60 Minutes
The team of the Federal TV political magazine "60 Minutes"
In 280 hours of fearless informative presentations over more than six years now the journalists of the Federal TV political magazine "60 Minutes", have consistently in each of their broadcasts pilloried the most corrupt authorities, enterprises and associations in B&H.
- Subjected to frequent insults, physical assaults and threats, including death threats, from the bodies they are exposing (which thereby themselves prove their dangerous criminal character), every individual journalist has set an example by their own civil courage .
- In a society run by organized crime, the "60 Minutes" team, by constantly exposing links in the chain of organized crime, prove their total commitment to promoting and upholding social and political courage as an abiding personal value essential to building a free human society.

I feel so blessed that we've got to enjoy so much snow this winter; I thought for sure after the abundance from last year, we'd be snow free for years to come. It was pretty funny to watch the dogs go crazy because Sierra wasn't really enjoying the snow earlier, and then they ended up knocking me over so I got to "ski" a bit. The snow did keep us at home away from my family's Christmas gathering, but my honey was super sweet and mulled some cider, built a fire, cooked lunch and dinner, gave me kisses throughout, and ended by baking some chocolate chip cookies; while I still cannot wait to eat the wretched excess of goodies my aunt and uncle make, it was a lovely day together.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! I promise to complain a bunch about health savings accounts in 2011.

Posted by eemilla on October 20, 2009
Our last day in San Francisco, we awoke to fog. The weather punished me for being so grumpy on Sunday morning and not riding across the Golden Gate Bridge. My wonderful husband optimistically suggested that we run up Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower so we could we get a good view and see if the fog might lift so we could ride across the bridge. Rather than head down to Union Square, we walked up Leavenworth a few blocks then over to Hyde where we caught the cable car and rode it to the waterfront. We got to ride past Lombard, but we opted not to walk down it. We tried to catch a bus up Telegraph Hill, but much like the rest of our trip we failed to note where we to catch the bus and which number so we hoofed it. Unlike the forced march down the Embarcadero, the chilly weather was in our favor.
From Coit Tower, our chances didn't look good for biking across the bridge. We took the Greenwich Steps down, and although the picture I took at the top of stairs looks lush, the Filbert Steps have much better scenery.
We meandered around trying to decide what to do in lieu of our bike trek. Ina Coolbrith Park and Macondary Lane and the Octagon houses were on my wish list so we set off for Ina Coolbrith based on my shorthand notes but without the benefit of a map (no free wi-fi!). We ended up finding Macondary Lane and walking through it, and then realizing that we had missed the park by a block. The park has nice views, but for the hike I preferred Buena Vista. After walking in circles to find the park, I forgot about the Octagon houses that were only blocks away (although most likely steep uphill blocks away) so we caught the cable car that runs on Mason and took it back to home base for much deserved shower.
On our last San Francisco night we dined at Le Colonial; it is a very lovely Michelin starred restaurant with elegant decor. Of course we were underdressed, but our server didn't seem to mind. He did, however, seemed determined to sell us the most expensive items on the menu even though we did not request his opinion. Our entire meal was delicious and eclipsed by the superiority of The Slanted Door. I enjoyed an ahi tuna tartare with taro chips for my appetizer and spring roll dish that I was instructed to eat like the bánh xéo from earlier in the week. Le Colonial provided the best service of any of the restaurants we dined at, and their food was good (if not divine).

Climate Change
Posted by eemilla on October 15, 2009
The facts supporting climate change have been widely reported across numerous media outlets; I wanted to post this to add one more blog to the list in support of making drastic changes to our lifestyles.
Climate change is just one of the many ills our society suffers because of our addiction with fossil fuels. Looking for purportedly cheap coal, we send fellow citizens to work in coal mines; once the vein dies or becomes too expensive, we raze the mountains and dump the top into the surrounding valleys creating wastelands in lieu of forested habitats. Those stream beds supply someone's water somewhere in the chain are then filled with poisons and waste from the mining, and during rainy years like this one the fills can create huge landslides (which if it doesn't kill you isn't covered under a homeowner's policy).
Our love of the automobile has lead us to build massive expanses of blacktop. The power of the car has allowed us to move further and further from work and commercial centers which leads to more traffic congestion then demand for less congested roadways. The fuel for these vehicles will not last forever, and even if it did, its exhaust is killing us. Furthermore is the fuel worth the national security risk; what would the economy do if for whatever crazy reason OPEC decided to stick it to us tomorrow? Public transportation was squashed by domestic automakers, and many people still argue public transportation will never be self-sustaining (thanks for a good jab, Doug Gibson!). Funny how the sweetheart lease deals we make with big oil doesn't impugn them. However, as our population grows the stress on the current roadways will increase while the demand for housing increases, and no one wants to live near the noise and smell of major roadway.
Our food is tied closely to energy prices because almost everything Americans eat is soaked in oil starting from the time the seeds are delivered from Monsanto to their drive to your home in plastic bags in the back of your car. If you are eating processed foods then you have even more oil on your hands not to mention the spare tire around your middle.
Even if our elected officials refuse to act, we can each do something small like grow some food, bring your own boxes and bags to the store, do without the car, or insulate your home. These little things when compounded will help, but a phone call or email to elected officials can't hurt.

Orange Day
Posted by eemilla on June 2, 2009
Checking the forecast at Ray's, my husband noticed that tomorrow (2 June) will be an orange day for Asheville Ridgetops, which means that the ozone levels will likely reach unhealthy levels for sensitive groups (i.e., those with breathing issues, the old, and the young) and outdoor exercise should be avoided during the afternoon. Ugh, it isn't even summer, and the ozone levels are already an issue. On the bright side, we are still on the low side of yellow with the particle pollution. I guess I should up my walking commuting while I can.

Strive Not to Drive Progress
Posted by eemilla on May 13, 2009
Monday: I failed. The rain kept me from walking, and I didn't get any bus tickets. Although we are almost a mile from the bus stop so even cutting the trip in half leaves a good bit of walking in the elements.
Tuesday: I had half success. While I did not get out of bed early enough to drive to work on time much less walk, I did roll my slacks up and walk home. The weather was great this afternoon, and I really enjoyed the sunshine. With the rain reprieve, everyone seemed to be mowing their yards so I sneezed most of the way home.
Wednesday looks good, but the rest of week has rainy evening forecasts.

French Broad River Festival
Posted by eemilla on May 9, 2009
We both mentioned packing the camera at separate times, but somehow it failed to get packed. Maybe next time. Last weekend it rained every day, and it wasn't soft sprinkling rain. Needless to say everything was wet and muddy caked in mud after three days of being exposed to those conditions. However, the rain did little to dampen our spirits. Whoo-hoo to the French Broad River Festival! Town Mountain was smokin', and Jen and the Juice were fun (surprised to see Debrissa from Laura Reed). One of my biggest regrets is leaving The Trainwreks at the end of their set to see Acoustic Syndicate; Acoustic was too mellow, but The Trainwreks were hot and fun (plus the Flood Stage had one of those funky tents that I last saw at TriNum). Brushfire Stankgrass started our Saturday right, and I also enjoyed Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Playboys. I had never heard Reverend Horton Heat, and I had plenty of fun, albeit in the rain, grooving (and balancing beer and umbrella) to them. However, I think Larry Keel and Natural Bridge were my weekend favorites. Larry was having a good time on stage, and the energy was just right. The worst part of the festival was missing the Unifire Theatre; due the rain, their set was moved from the end of the night to some other time that we didn't hear about. I love fire; watching fire, especially after a good bit of alcohol, is one of my favorite things, and when the fire isn't isolated to the fire pit and is dancing around on hula hoops and the ends of swinging chains I become entranced.
Not only is the Hot Springs Campground lovely and beside the river, the hot tubs are right across the street. I wasn't as energetic as I normally would have been watching Brushfire Stankgrass or Jen and the Juice as they were post soak. My honey booked a tub early Saturday afternoon, and he took the advice of those in the know and picked the best tub available. It had a wooden deck with plenty of room and two chairs and a table as well as a fan and a heat lamp. However, the best part is the infinity pool effect you get when sitting in the tub; this is compound by the fact that the water is on both sides of the tub. While you are close enough to hear loud engines climbing a hill, one can easily drown those noises with the singing of the river. If you have never been to Hot Springs, you will be shocked at the velvety softness the waters impart on your skin.

Belated Earth Day
Posted by eemilla on April 25, 2009
In homage to Earth Day, I wanted to remind everyone about one of the easiest and cheapest ways to save electricity: the humble clothesline. I dried three loads of laundry within a couple of hours. Although I don't like the way the my clothes smell after drying outside, I adore the way towels react: super absorbent and long lasting freshness. The sunshine works wonders as a whitener, and the wind will substitute for starch and the iron (thus adding another energy savings!)

March Snow!
Posted by eemilla on March 1, 2009
This is so typical of WNC: a balmy winter with a smattering of bitter cold, and the biggest snow event happening sometime between March and April. I love snow. I love watching it; I love waking up to it; I love skiing in fresh natural snow (a real treat in the southeastern mountains); I love the fresh blanket it lays on the landscape; and I love how much our dog loves eating it and dashing madly about (thus destroying the serene blanket). I love it so much that I want more; I want to see winters in which it snows a few feet so that the office will be closed, and we can drive up to Banner Elk. Whoo HOO! As I am typing the snow is falling faster and heavier!
I posted sometime in the afternoon, and now the snow has stopped (how sad). Below are the most recent snow photos showing how much more snow we received. I can only hope to wake up to even more snow.

Dear colleagues,
I hope you have had a fine summer and that the energy boost from our
great General meeting in Granada still invigorates your thoughts and
work. With the fall rapidly turning into winter (at least in the
northern part of the world), it is again time for an update and
information about our activites.
In this volume of the EBSP, we have two highly topical
contributions to our Opinions & Perspectives section (O & P).
The first is a piece by Fouad Bou Zeineddine based on his presentation
at the round-table discussion "Building
Support for Social Psychologists at Risk" during our Granada GM.
This symposium, lead by our former president Manuela Barreto, was
initiated to put focus on social psychologists across the world that
are facing increasingly hard times; some fleeing from conflict and
war, some facing religious or political persecution, others caught up
in travel bans and other exclusionary measures. The EASP, in
conjunction with ISPP, has taken a number of measures in responses to
specific crises, most notably in Turkey, but the question is how we go
further to generate new, effective forms of solidarity. In his
contribution, Fouad presents main aspects of marginalization, as well
as proposals to alleviate these, suggested in his interviews with
social psychologists from and in developing countries. I trust it that
you will take time to read this urgent piece thoroughly. The proposals
include several excellent ideas for practical solutions to increase
connectivity and inclusion, but also address attitudinal issues that
aggravate asymmetries in opportunities and resources. We also have a
very interesting contribution by poll expert John Curtice. His
piece gives a sobering and enlightening inside perspective on why
the polling institutes have recently failed to predict important
electoral outcomes (e.g., Brexit, the Trump election). The text
provides invaluable keys to make sense of this issue, and deserves
attention from everyone concerned with the recent mismatches between
predicted and actual electoral outcomes.
The situation in Turkey is worsening, and the repression on
academics is growing. Our colleagues in Turkey are facing law suits
for Peace declaration signatories, and both their families and the
general population are continuously facing oppression and danger. This
bulletin provides an update of the situation provided by the Social
and Political Platform of Turkey. Active support to academics in
Turkey is crucial, and we strongly invite you to consider the
suggestions included in the letter
on how to do this.
In the rest of the bulletin, you will find other information, for
example, about the membership and membership fees, as well as the
usual sections including inspiring reports on past meetings supported
by EASP, on members' activities that were supported by grants from
the Association, and new members.
Lastly, if you miss the stimulating discussions with colleagues
from around the world, the wine and the beauty of southern Spain, let
me just remind you that you can still access pictures
and movies of the Granada meeting on our website.
Best wishes
Torun Lindholm
Dear Members of EASP,
After six years of devoted service to the association, Manuela
Barreto, Mara Cadinu, and Daniel Wigboldus have left the executive
committee. The Granada General Meeting marks the start of a new
executive committee. In the name of all the members of the
association, we would like to thank them for all the hard work they
did over the last 6 years.We all benefitted from their
The new executive committee (Jean-Claude Croizet, Ernestine
Gordijn, Kai Jonas, Malgorzata Kossowska, Torun Lindholm, Monica
Rubini, and Kai Sassenberg) has held its inaugural meeting. I want to
use this president's corner to share with you our thoughts about our
goals EASP for the next 3 years and the resulting opportunities for
you as members.
Diversity and support for regions
Diversity has been a key theme of EASP executive committees from the
beginning on, but in particular for the last 6 years. We will focus on
diversity within the association with special attention – but not
limited to –regional diversity. To this end, we want to support
social psychologist in regions of Europe in which our discipline or
our association are less well represented. Under the label of RKTS
(Research Knowledge Transfer Scheme), we will more intensely support
members to organize workshops or networks (e.g., forming regional
organizations, transfer of special research skills) for social
psychologists. We are happy to support you with manpower (either
personally or helping you to find speakers) but also financially. We
will actively approach potential organizers. At the same time, we also
invite you to approach us – not necessarily with complete proposal,
but also with rough ideas or suggestions regarding measure that could
help social psychology in your country, community, or field.
For future rounds of award applications, we will take even more
care that diversity aspects will be taken into consideration. To this
end, we have started to revise award criteria. Procedures of award
committees, will likewise be adjusted.
We also will remain involved in activities supporting psychologists at
risk, for example in Turkey, but also in other regions (for details
see the reports below).
Mastering the challenges resulting from changes in the
publication system
Over the last decade, the scientific publication system has undergone
a revolution. Scientific discussions are not limited any more to major
journals, but develop in open access journals, on preprint servers,
blogs, social media etc. This has an impact on the scientific
discourse and reduces the importance and the income generated by major
journals. Given that the subscription fees collected by the publishing
houses are also majorly contributing to the income of EASP, the
changes in the publication system work against the financial health of
EASP. It will be one of the main goals of the current executive
committee to prepare EASP for upcoming changes in the publication
system. We are currently financially very healthy, but we need to get
prepared for what is coming. As soon as we will have developed a clear
vision about the steps to be taken, we will provide you with more
detailed plans.
Besides, we will take care that our association will continue to do
what it was founded for: Supporting research in social psychology and
the exchange between social psychologists in Europe and beyond. This
has set the agenda of the association for more than five decades and
it will also guide our activities. Here is what EASP offers you:
Support for members
EASP offers travel grants - for postgraduate as well as for full
members – and seedcorn grants. These grants are meant to support
exchange between and collaborative research of European social
psychologist. Funding rates are substantially higher than in case of
most other funding sources. Please make use of this opportunity!
Support for preregistered research
As one means to support changes in social psychology towards more
replicability, the association supports pre-registered research.
Members who have received an IPA (in principle acceptance) from peer
reviewed journal, such as CRSP or one of the many other journals
publishing registered reports can apply for up to € 1000 to conduct
preregistered research.
Support for meetings
EASP offers support for meeting organizers. The initiative of the
numerous people who have organized EASP meetings over the years has
been the most important platform for the exchange between members. It
is a must that half of the meeting attendees are EASP members, but
apart from this requirement we are open to support different types of
meetings. Thus, if you have an idea for a meeting, you should
definitely consider applying for EASP support.
Beside all these activities, we are prepared to listen to you.
Please contact us for issues you want us to deal with. Without your
input, our willingness to act for the good of the association and its
members might fail to address your vital interests and needs. Thus,
please get in touch with us and tell us about crucial problems or
themes that otherwise might escape our attention.
Best wishes!
