Advanced Research Training Seminar: ARTS

What is ARTS?

The Advanced Research Training Seminar (ARTS) is a special summer school program organized by IAAP. It is a capacity-building workshop that takes place every two or four years in conjunction with the International Congresses of Applied Psychology (ICAP) since 1992. ARTS promotes excellence in research skills and facilitates exchange and dialogue amongst early career scientists.

ARTS is organized around group projects. Six team leaders (early career researchers: assistant professor, postdoc) are recruited to organize and coordinate an international research project on the topic of their choice. Each of these six teams are composed of a team leader and three to five participants (PhD candidates or Master students).

The projects last around 12 months. ARTS participants come from all over the world and most of the communication is via the Internet; they have the opportunity to meet each other for a few days during a workshop organized prior to the ICAP.

How does ARTS work?

ARTS has several components:

Research – Team leaders define and lead the research projects. ARTS participants work on one of these projects with their team leader and peers in groups of three to five people.
Feedback – Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own research through an oral presentation (or poster) and receive feedback from their peers, team leaders and the ARTS committee.
Presentations – Teams will present their team project at the symposium organized by IAAP and will have the opportunity to receive feedback from renowned experts.
