Swift Call for Papers and First Invitation Forth European WOP Practitioner Conference

There is no special motto this time but it is planned to merge Section ABO and Section Market & Communication Psychology on this congress so this may serve as a thematic background – with European perspectives. Of course, it is also planned to ask EAWOP, our European professional WOP association, for collaboration in this part of the congress.

At the moment we are still building the programme for this fourth WOP practitioner event and we ask you to support us:

Please,
send in your suggestions or remarks (to the below scheme) and
above all – announce your seriously meant contributions to both

DP Mario Schmitz-Buhl
Geschäftsstelle der ABO-Sektion,
Am Schilken 31,
D 58285 Gevelsberg
E-mail: ABO.Geschaeftsstelle@t-online.de

DP Ute Schmidt-Brasse
Dr.-Klingenberg-Straße 48d
D 27793 Wildeshausen
E-mail: schmidt-brasse@psycon.de

Practical hints Please, in any case send title, 3-5 sentences about contents, name and address of author, mode of contribution and length of time needed, important conditions – and if possible your abstract (1-2 pages).

As we are late (due to some personal constraints), we concede time for sending the abstract until November 30, 2003, if needed.

You will be informed about acceptance or rejection until Christmas 2003.

To be finally registered as a contributor European contributors – like German ones – after acceptance will have to definitely assure their participation and pay in advance € 45,- (one day without Social Night), € 60,- (one day incl. Social Night) or € 145,- (whole congress) – all including catering during the congress (lunch, coffee breaks). Contributors are exempted from paying admission fees to the joint congress and conference, but they will have to book and pay their own accommodation and travel costs (though there will be reduced fees agreed with the congress hotel).
