European Health Psychology Society

Collaborative REsearch And Training in the EHPS (CREATE) is a subdivision of the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS), promoting education and collaboration for early career researchers working in the field of health psychology. CREATE aims to play a significant role in increasing research cooperation between European countries. We try to attain these goals by facilitating further collaborative health psychology research among young researchers and ensuring the development and functioning of a research-support network. More specifically, CREATE have the following objectives:

• To organize training workshops on specific topics of interest identified by the participants of the network.
• To create a resource/support network for junior researchers interested in the field of health psychology in Europe. Participants of this network will have the opportunity to identify common research interests and problem areas, report on the progress of their work and receive feedback.

CREATE organises interactive workshops each year. Prominent experts within the field of health psychology are invited to teach these workshops. The overall aim of these workshops is to enhance knowledge and skills of participants. Topics are current topics in health psychology theory and research, but also more practical issues like the process of submitting papers to journals, methodological issues, advances in literature databases, and oral presentation.
