Deliver a workshop or seminar!
Members are invited to submit seminars or workshops for presentation at the online conference. If you have an idea, a piece of work, or a perspective that could help us explore the future of educational psychology, we want to hear from you!
We invite submissions that explore the evolving landscape of educational psychology and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We are particularly interested in workshops that align with the conference theme and engage with topics including:
- Innovations and updates in our practice
- Anti-racist practice and equity in educational psychology
- The role and influence of social media
- Labelling, diagnosis, and evolving understandings of neurodiversity
- The impact and integration of artificial intelligence in our work
This is a unique opportunity to reflect on where we are heading as a profession and to shape the dialogue about what educational psychology will look like in the coming years.
We welcome submissions from practitioners and researchers at all career stages and especially encourage Trainee Educational Psychologists (TEPs) and newly qualified EPs to share their research, experiences, and insights.
Submissions should include both a title and an abstract of between 200 - 300 words. All sessions will be approximately 45 minutes and it's your choice how to structure these and use your time.
Please submit these using the form below, before midnight on 12th September 2025.
