The Scientific Program Committee of the European Paediatric Psychology Conference (EPPC) welcomes submissions of symposia proposals, workshop proposals, poster abstracts and short oral presentation abstracts. The conference is organised by the European Paediatric Psychology Network (EPPN).

True to our theme, we are eager to present ideas designed to strengthen professional collaboration and, of course, the health and wellbeing of children, families and communities.
EPPC will include keynote lectures from field leaders (to be announced) as well as ample opportunities for researchers and clinicians to present their cutting-edge work.
