The IXth Conference of the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology was held in Rome (Italy) in March 2010. This meeting, judged by many as one of the best held by the Academy, attracted around 200 – 300 speakers and delegates. It was sponsored by ISPESL (now INAIL) and the Institute of Work, Health & Organisations, University of Nottingham, with additional support from a number of other bodies including the Academy’s journal Work & Stress and its publishers Taylor & Francis (TF Informa).

The European Academy’s conferences are held on a two yearly basis and co-ordinated with those held jointly by the US Society for Occupational Health Psychology (SOHP), the US National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Psychological Association (APA). The next Academy conference will be held in 2012 in Zurich (Switzerland). 2012 Zurich will be the 10th Academy Conference since the founding of the Academy in 1998. Previous conferences have been held in Lund (Sweden), Nottingham (UK), Barcelona (Spain), Vienna (Austria), Porto (Portugal), Berlin (Germany), Dublin (Eire), Valencia (Spain) and Rome (Italy).
The Academy’s conferences are generally recognised to be friendly and supportive meetings managed relatively informally without compromising the quality of the scientific papers and posters offered. In addition to the research presented and discussed, there are always sessions devoted to education in occupational health psychology and to professional practice. The International Coordinating Group for OHP holds its annual meetings at the Academy conferences and at those of their US counterparts.
The Academy’s conferences are one of the best of places to meet and network with colleagues and friends in OHP and a place to reflect on and discuss current issues chewing over the future of the discipline with friends.
