Conference program includes presentations of fundamental and applied research topics from all fields of psychology in the following forms:

Symposia - at least 4, and maximum 5 papers of different authors related to a common topic or a series of studies, convened by a symposium organizer.

Oral presentations - presentation on a single study or topic.

Poster presentations - presentations that enable direct and intensive interaction between authors and the participants (dimensions of posters should be 90 cm /width/ x 120cm /height/ /35.4'' x 47.2''/).

Round table discussions about a pertinent professional or research topic.

Abstracts should be written in Croatian or English. Abstracts in which the written text substantially deviates from the standards of the chosen language will not be considered for review.
Abstracts should be between 1800 and 2000 characters, not including the abstract title, author(s) and author(s) affiliation. Authors should indicate the type of presentation they are proposing (symposia, oral presentation, poster or round table discussion).

Abstracts of empirical work (oral and poster presentations) should include a clearly stated objective and / or research problem, methodology and a discussion of main findings, along with reference to their interpretation. 

Abstracts for a symposium must include:
- The title of the symposium
- The name of the leader of the symposium
- A description of the symposium and topics covered (250-300 words)
- The names of all participants in the symposium
All symposia must have a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 5 papers.
The abstracts of individual papers within the symposium should include the title of the symposium of which it is a part and should be written in accordance with the above-described guidelines for abstracts of oral and poster presentations.  

Abstracts for roundtable discussions must include a description of the discussion topics as well as the full name of the roundtable leader and all participants.

While we aim to provide an opportunity for as many authors to present their work as possible, the number of presentation spaces is limited. As such, an individual may be the first author on only one paper and additionally a co-author on a maximum of two further papers.

The deadline for the submission of proposals is the 15th of January, 2017. After this deadline, no further submissions will be accepted. The Program Committee will review all submitted abstracts. Decisions regarding acceptance will be sent to the corresponding author by the 15th of February, 2017. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Book of Abstracts before the opening of the conference. Only the abstracts of authors who have paid the registration fee by the 15th of March, 2017 will be scheduled for presentation and included in the Book of Abstracts.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to many requests, we have moved the deadline for proposal submission to 1st February 2017.

The duration of each individual oral presentation is limited to 15 minutes. Each oral presentation will be immediately followed by a 5-minute discussion. Roundtable discussions will be 60 minutes in duration, while symposia are allotted a time limit of 90 minutes. Posters should be 90cm x 120cm in dimension and will be exhibited during specified poster sessions. 

The presentation language is Croatian or English. 

The submission of proposals is now closed!

On the application form, you must first select the type of submission you are making: oral or poster presentation. If you are submitting an oral presentation, the type of oral presentation (individual oral presentation, symposium, oral presentation within a symposium, roundtable) must be indicated in the next step. 

Abstracts for oral presentations and posters should be submitted by the first author or by the author who will present the work.

Abstracts for roundtables should be submitted by the organizer/leader of the roundtable. Roundtable participants are not required to submit a proposal. 

Symposium abstracts and abstracts for presentations within a symposium are submitted by the organizer/leader of the symposium. The procedure for the submission of a symposium and abstracts within the symposium is as follows:  

1. The symposium leader should first complete a symposium proposal.
- Select the type of oral presentation: Symposium,
- Enter the symposium leader’s name and e-mail address as the contact person,
- Under ‘title of paper’, enter the name of the symposium,
- Under ‘authors’, enter the name and institutional affiliation of the symposium leader,
- Provide an abstract for the symposium as a whole (the names of all authors who will present their work in the proposed symposium should be included in this abstract)

2. Next, the symposium leader should individually submit each work included in the symposium as a separate submission (using a new submission form for each individual work). For each new submission:
- Select the type of oral participation: Oral presentation within a symposium
- Enter the symposium leader’s name and e-mail address as the contact person
- Under ‘title of paper’, enter the title of the individual work within the symposium,
- Under ‘authors’, enter the names and institutional affiliations of all authors named on the individual work,
- Provide an abstract for the individual work (this should include the title of the symposium of which this work is a part)

3. The procedure outlined in point 2 should be repeated by the symposium leader for each individual paper included in the symposium.
