This group aims to offer a platform connecting defense forces, military psychologists and work and organizational (or I/O) psychologists, in Europe and abroad. National defense forces – cooperating in NATO, European Defence Agency (EDA) and related alliances – face many challenges and rapid changes. Military has been a breeding ground for core theories and research developments in I/O psychology, from selection and training, to teamwork and leadership. Today, there is a strong need to closely cooperate, and co-create in the development of expertise and evidence based methods for strong, agile, inclusive and ethical defense forces.
This group is powered by EAWOP (European Association for Work and Organizational Psychology), and open to all who want to share and develop their expertise in relation to the above. A specific topic is cooperation with our colleagues in Ukraine (both I/O psychologists, and military psychologists), to help them fulfill their mission.
