ARPEnv Scientific Retreat
Ecological Transition through Psychology

From May 23 to May 25, 2024 at Iméra (2 place Leverrier, 13004)

Given the centrality of the various current ecological crises, psychologists are heavily involved in research projects and interventions concerning human-environment relationships.

Over the years, this community has responded to this challenge through different strategies and approaches. This meeting will aim to take stock of our different perspectives in order to question those that have been the most pertinent (or least) in light of environmental crises and forthcoming societal changes.

Programme

The program will be organized around plenary and parallel sessions according to the expressed interests of the participants. A survey has been launched to identify people interested in different themes.

  • Wednesday, May 22 (Saint Charles) plenary session
  • Thursday morning, May 23 (Iméra) parallel working sessions
  • Thursday afternoon, May 24 (Iméra) parallel session
  • Friday morning, May 25 (Iméra) plenary session
