Re-Building Bridges – Enabling Human Performance
The Scientific Committee of the European Association for Aviation Psychology (EAAP) is excited to announce the FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS for the next biannual EAAP conference. The conference will be held from in Gibraltar from 20th September - 24th September 2021. This follows the postponement of our 2020 conference due to Covid-19.
The 2021 conference theme "Re-Building Bridges - Enabling Human Performance" is inspired by two trends. The first is the re-building of aviation following Covid-19. The second affirms recent activities by the EAAP Board to build upon strategic partnerships with professional aviation organisations around the globe. We are forming new links with South America, Asia and national European aviation psychology associations. EAAP has also built new bridges with several specialised European aviation organisations to support and enable human performance.
Aviation Psychology is thriving and the number of members and supporting organisations outside Europe is growing significantly.
The 34th EAAP Conference will provide a platform to strengthen not only these new strategic partnerships, but all partnerships that have developed over the past few years.
Goals & target audience
EAAP is very much committed to ensuring a high level of science. We would like to invite specialists from universities and research & development organisations to present their studies. At the same time, we would like to invite key stakeholders and practitioners to not only take part, but also to exchange both their experience and their research.
Individuals and/or teams from universities, research institutions, airlines, air forces, air navigation service providers, airports, manufacturers, maintenance facilities, regulators, bureaus of air safety investigation, and any others in the aviation system are invited to submit an abstract for a scientific paper or poster.
