How it started
In 2019 at the bi-annual EAWOP conference in Turin, the EAWOP General Meeting decided to develop a unit – the EAWOP Impact Incubator – with the goal of informing and underpinning European policy development regarding people, work and organization based on the science and practice of Work and Organizational Psychology.
The EAWOP Impact Incubator – EAWOPii – started in November 2020, with the appointment of its inaugural Director, Prof Rosalind Searle. She is responsible for developing this new strategic and policy focused area for EAWOP.
The mission of the EAWOPii is outlined below:
