FAQs

(Page last updated: 07th September 2020)
When will the conference be held? 

The Conference was held online from 2-4 September 2020. 

When the updated conference programme will be ready?

By 17 August 2020. The final conference programme is available here.

What can you tell me about the follow-up event in Rome? 

There will be a follow-up face-to-face EAOHP Symposium on 17-18 June 2021 in Rome. The focus of this event will be on ‘Mental health and Well-being at work in times of crisis’. All delegates who have registered for the 14th EAOHP conference (option A - full participation) are invited to participate in this event, free of charge. More details on the event will be published in early 2021.

I have a poster presentation, how will I be affected? 

You will have the option of changing your presentation to an oral one, or, you can choose to present your poster 'virtually'. We will also upload a copy of your poster for delegates to view for the duration of the conference. We will be in touch with poster presenters to discuss these options.

What happens to my symposium? 

If all presenters from the symposium are taking part in the conference, then the symposium will remain unchanged. If there are dropouts then it is up to the symposium chair to either change the presenter, replace the presentation, shorten the symposium or cancel the symposium, and present any remaining papers in open thematic paper sessions. Please inform us of any changes so we can amend the programme.

Can I change or edit my presentation? 

If you want to change elements of your presentation that is fine. You can do so on the conference platform at ​https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/ you will need your username and password used when submitting your abstract. If you not remember your password, please add your email and then click on "Forgot my password​".

Can I submit a new abstract? 

No, abstract submission is closed and it will not open for September. 

I cancelled my participation before the announcement, but I would like to participate again. What should I do? 

If you cancelled your registration before but now you would like to participate, please contact us (do not register again). 

Will there still be a book of proceedings? 

Yes, we will still publish a book of proceedings based on the presentations from the September conference. Proceedings from previous EAOHP conferences are available here.

What will happen to the social events scheduled in the Conference programme? 

We will have the conference dinner in our follow-up event in Rome on 17th June 2021. Anyone who has paid for dinner but not attending the event in Rome will receive a full refund for the dinner amount.

Are the awards still running? 

Yes, we will still be presenting the Best Poster prize and Andre Bussing Memorial Prize in the closing session of the conference on 4th September 2020. The EAOHP fellowship awards and the Eusebio Rial-González Innovation & Practice Award in Occupational Health Psychology will be presented at the closing of the EAOHP symposium on 18th June 2021. 

I have not signed up for this conference, can I still do so? 

Yes, we will open the registrations once again on the 1st July 2020. Registrations will remain open until 2nd September. This is to attend the conference, not to submit a new abstract. 

I do not want to a refund but I cannot attend the event in Rome/I would like to withdraw my presentation as I won’t be attending.
