Limassol to host major European health psychology conference

Europe’s leading conference on health psychology will be held in Limassol next week, with 700 delegates attending the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS 2015) congress taking place from September 1 to 5 at the Grand Resort.

According to the organisers, EHPS is a professional organisation formed to promote empirical and theoretical research in health psychology. Each year a four-day conference is organised at locations across Europe, with the aim to present the most important developments in the field.

The theme of EHPS 2015 is “Principles of behaviour change in health and illness” with presentations from world renowned researchers, professors and professionals. Some of the keynote speakers include Prof. Howard S. Friedman, Prof. Susan Michie, Prof. Ronan O’Carroll and Prof. JoAnne Dahl.

The EHPS 2015 also includes ten parallel sessions with more than 300 oral presentations from a wide range within health psychology topics and hundreds of posters divided in three interactive sessions. EHPS 2015 is also expected to bring more expertise and innovative research through symposia, roundtables, participatory sessions, overview talks and workshops.

The conference is co-hosted by the University of Cyprus (Department of Psychology) and the Cyprus Psychologists’ Association. The conference co-ordinators are Easy Conferences.
