Josie Booth (The University of Edinburgh) and Eva Van den Bussche (KU Leuven) are guest editing a special issue of British Journal of Developmental Psychology on "Citizen Science in developmental psychology research". Citizen science approaches to research are increasingly recognized as vital to enhance the real-world relevance, and application of research findings. 

Submissions are now open for the Joint ESCoP-CoPM Meeting 2026, held from August 31 to September 4, 2026, in Hangzhou, China. Organized by the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCoP) and the Cognitive Psychology Meeting (CoPM), we invite proposals for symposia, individual oral presentations, and posters until the deadline on March 15, 2026. All submissions must adhere to a 150-character limit for titles and a 1,250-character limit for abstracts.

We are pleased to announce that ESCoP has joined the European Consortium for Psychological Science (ECPS), a collaborative platform uniting ten European psychological science organizations across sub-disciplines, including developmental, clinical, social, personality, work & organizational, health, cognitive, methodology, assessment, and neuropsychology. Through this consortium, we aim to strengthen the visibility, exchange, and impact of psychological science across Europe and support initiatives that benefit researchers and practitioners alike.
