Andre Bussing Memorial Prize
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS:
CONCEPT
The Andre Bussing Memorial Prize was introduced following the untimely death of Academy Vice President, Andre Bussing, in 2003. Andre was a long standing supporter of the Academy and since its inception expressed a heartfelt desire to see the discipline of occupational health psychology prosper. To recognise Andre’s contribution, the Executive Committee of the Academy introduced a prize in his honour to be awarded biennially. The prize recognises high quality research by an early career researcher.
ELIGIBILITY
The Award is open to any early career researcher (eight years from completion of PhD or equivalent - at the point of presentation) who submits a paper to the EAOHP Conference and feels their work has, or will, make a considerable contribution to the field of occupational health psychology. The candidate must be the lead author and the work primarily his or her own and present at the conference in Lisbon.
PRIZE
Free attendance at the EAOHP 2020 conference plus a cash award of 250 Euros.
DECISION PROCESS
Two members of the Academy’s Executive Committee will attend each candidate’s presentation. Decision criteria include:
1. Is the work largely the candidate’s own?
2. Is the work of exceptional quality in terms of research methodology,
3. Does the work offer new insight into an area of occupational health psychology, or does the line of work offer considerable promise for the future?
Committee members will arrive at a judgement on the last day of conference and the Award will be made in the closing ceremony.
