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.
