We are responding to many requests from researchers and practitioners unable to meet the EAWOP Congress 2022 submission deadline due to the various national and international restrictions. Given that our goal is to best represent the rich and diverse research and practice of our discipline, we recognise the need to adapt and are therefore pleased to announce that submissions are re-opening and will remain open until the 23rd July.
We are particularly keen to continue hearing from CSIOP members, are hope this will foster further collaborations between our regions. In addition to oral papers, posters and symposia we have some new submission categories that are especially focussed on early career attendees and doctoral students who we particularly welcome and support.
The EAWOP Congress has traditionally had strong academic programme showcasing the latest findings, and we would love to replicate this after a long-enforced break. In addition, poster presentations and 7-minute Science are especially suited to current MSc and PhD students interested in maximising the international impact of their ongoing research efforts.
You may be concerned about the pandemic situation and travel arrangements. We are operating a very positive refund policy and have hotel arrangements that require no deposit and can be cancelled up to the last moment. We will also employ a virtual approach should the worst-case scenario emerge.
Submissions can be made via the congress website where you can also find full information: https://www.eawop2022.org/submissions/.
We very much look forward to receiving your submissions and please do forward this mail to other colleagues or students who may be interested.

IWOP DECLARATION OF IDENTITY
Barbara Kozusznik1 & Sharon Glazer2

INTRODUCTION
Industrial and Organizational (IO) Psychology, also known as Work and Organizational (WO) Psychology, henceforth referred to as IWOP*, as a worldwide profession, does not have foundational values about its public voice. As Lowman (2006; Lowman & Cooper, 2018) and Lefkowitz (2005; 2017) in various publications note, IWOP is now considered a profession and professions affect societies. IWOP has a responsibility as a profession to support difficult decisions at the societal, organizational, and group level so as to always ensure that workers and worker-eligible people are reaping benefits rather than are harmed by their work engagements.
The IWOP profession is concerned with both individual work-related wellbeing and effective performance. This duality can create ambiguity about IWOPs’ contributions. IWOPs have a clear understanding of our abilities to navigate between well-being and performance effectiveness. We must make this understanding visible and audible to the public we serve, including all stakeholders involved in the world of work, whether employees, employers, governing boards, unemployed, precarious workers, labor unions, and more.
With the aid of over 50 participants at various international congresses and conferences since 2013, plus several surveys that IAAP has administered since 2009, it has become clear that IWOPs wish to have a more globally inclusive identity and to become more visible with relevant stakeholders. Therefore, drawing from communications and discussions that ensued among IWOP affiliates attending IAAP events within Division 1, Organizational Psychology, as well as in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP), European Association for Work and Organizational Psychology (EAWOP), Canadian Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (C-SIOP), and the Alliance for Organizational Psychology (AOP), President of IAAP, Division 1 (Organizational Psychology) and co-chair of SIOP’s International Affairs Committee, have created a draft Declaration of Identity.
*IWOP is used to be inclusive of the various permutations of our professional title around the globe.

This opportunity will enable the Division of Occupational psychology to build our international collaboration with major professional associations and promote on a global scale the values of best practice, visibility, and enhancing our science which we hold in common with our partners.
The DOP aims to raise the profile of Occupational Psychology and encourage the advancement and sharing of psychological knowledge and practice. We are excited at the prospect of networking with colleagues from around the world.
We look forward to working with the Alliance for Organizational Psychology and being part of the “Big Tent” Initiative. Through combined efforts and leveraging joint communications, we hope to facilitate understanding, develop international opportunities, and support collective activities with the AOP.
The BPS, www.bps.org.uk, is the representative body for psychologists in the United Kingdom. It is home to over 62,000 members and has 154 networks.
One of these networks is the Division of Occupational Psychology, which represents the interests of occupational psychologists in the UK.
The BPS and DOP provide resources and a community for members across psychology, whether practitioners, academics, or part of the wider psychological family.
As Dr Hazel McLaughlin, President of the British Psychological Society commented, “We are committed to international collaboration. We have worked informally within the Alliance for several years and are delighted to formally become a Network Partner of the Alliance for Organizational Psychology. We look forward to sharing research, knowledge, and ideas and to learning from our international partners. Together we are stronger.”
