EHPS Conference Grant Report

Abstract

In September 2024, the EHPS conference took place in Cascais, Portugal. This report captures the experiences of early career researchers who were awarded grants to attend. We reflect on how the conference expanded our understanding of health psychology, enhanced our confidence in networking, provided opportunities to present our research, and inspired ideas for future projects and collaborations. The conference also allowed us to engage with the latest developments in health psychology from around the world, highlighting the value of international perspectives and building connections across borders. Our experiences demonstrate not only how attending the conference supported our professional growth, but also how the EHPS fosters an inclusive and accessible environment for early career researchers.
