Chair: Frank Van Overwalle, Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Organizers: Sophie Lambert and Rodrigo Brito, Université Libre de Bruxelles

 

 
 

Social psychology is a flourishing field in Belgium, and counts many researchers, including a large number of doctoral students, doing cutting-edge work in well-renowned research units. This work is often presented at international conferences, but, except for the annual BPS meetings where we share time and attention with other fields of psychology, social psychologists in Belgium had not yet found a national forum for sharing their on-going work.

 The aim of the Workshop on Social Psychology in Belgium was to provide such a forum. The format of this meeting was intended to encourage thorough discussion on the research presented. This was achieved by having all presentations in one room, and by providing the same time slots for discussion of each presentation as for the presentation itself.

 The success of the workshop can be measured by the facts that a very large proportion (around three quarters) of social psychologists working in Belgian universities participated in the workshop, and that all universities were represented. After the scientific programme some ideas were discussed on how to conciliate future workshops with the busy research and conference schedule of social psychologists in Belgium. It was agreed that a different university should organise the next workshop, and that it should be scheduled for a time of the year set further from the annual Belgian Psychological Society meeting or from the Summer international conference calendar (e.g. Fall).
