The 2024 annual meeting of the Belgian Association for Psychological Sciences will take place in Brussels, on May 30-31 of 2024. The meeting aims to provide a platform for researchers in all disciplines of psychology to interact with each other and to present their work. As such, the meeting offers a unique opportunity for national and international scholars to engage with each other's work. Moreover, we pay particular attention to early career researchers with the junior track in our programme, organised by the BAPS junior board.
The 2024 annual meeting of the BAPS will span two days: Thursday 30th of May 2024 and Friday 31st of May 2024. Both days will contain keynotes, (invited) symposia, poster sessions, and junior track sessions. We are delighted to welcome two keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Lorraine Whitmarsh (University of Bath) and Prof. Dr. Max Louwerse (Tilburg University). In addition, we plan to include several exciting invited symposia with a broad range of topics.
The general theme of the 2024 annual meeting of the BAPS is "Dealing with transformative change: Societal challenges for Psychological Sciences".

The general theme of the 2024 annual meeting of the BAPS is "Dealing with transformative change: Societal challenges for Psychological Sciences".
Society faces transformative changes, ranging from the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) to the increasing effects of climate change. These global challenges have a profound impact on individuals worldwide and on society at large. Moreover, they have had profound effects on psychological science as a domain of scientific inquiry and on the praxis of scientific research. For example, the impact of climate change has spurred psychological scientists to investigate, among other things, its impact on individual wellbeing and the factors that shape individuals’ opinions about climate change. As such, environmental psychology has garnered increasing attention in the past decade. With regards to AI and the rise of large language models, psychological researchers are adapting to the use of these new tools in scientific research but are also at the forefront of developing new applications and improvements in AI.
