SPSP and the Society of Australasian Social Psychologists (SASP) participate in a summer school exchange program. The Australasian Summer School, which is held for a week (usually in early February) every other year, offers up to 36 places to graduate students placed across three workshops. In its agreement with SPSP, SASP reserves up to three places for students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program. Students interested in participating should apply directly to the SASP Summer School.
SPSP is pleased to offer three Travel Awards to support attendance at the SASP Summer School. We believe that this is an exceptionally valuable experience for students. The Travel Award provides reimbursement for up to $750 in travel-related expenses to up to three students who are selected as part of the SASP-SPSP exchange program.
