What's new in IPSY?
The latest news at your fingertips
June 2021
Martin Edwards will take up the mandate of Institute President for 3 years, starting on 1 September 2021.
At the last meeting of the IPSY Conseil, Martin Edwards thanked the two previous presidents for working to create an inclusive community across the different IPSY domains and for ensuring fairness, consistency in decision-making and increased support for researchers.
"More time for research"
Martin Edwards wants to simplify administrative procedures as much as possible so that researchers can spend more time on research. He wants to strengthen the place of research in IPSY in international networks.
Let's be pro-active so that IPSY is among the pilot institutes in the development of partnerships within Circle U. As the research expertise in psychology has been identified (Circle U - Potential Partnerships | UCLouvain), the ACA members of the Institute are invited to get in touch with potential partners. A first collaboration could be to propose the presentation of the IPSY seminars.
The Institute will welcome three new academic members in September.
- For the chair of Psychology of Physical Activity, Damien Brevers
- For the chair of Psychology of the couple, Taylor Kohut.
- For the Psychometrics chair, Henryk Bukowski.
Valérie Dormal will replace Nadine Fraselle on a part-time basis as Research Manager. Her extensive and cross-cutting experience will enable her to respond to the needs of researchers in several ways:
- Setting up and managing psychology projects
- Use of IPSY's research equipment and devices, such as EEG acquisition or eyetrackers
- Research paradigms specific to each IPSY domain, including online experiments
- Data management and ethics
- Mastery of the usual software for piloting experiments (e.g., e-Prime, PsychoPy, Testable etc.) and for creating online surveys (e.g., Qualtrics)

The ideas exchanged during the meeting of the Institute's members on 19 May led the Bureau to propose the implementation of four concrete actions.
- Organising a joint cathartic BBQ with the faculty after the September session and burning the covid man in a bonfire!
- Setting up an ongoing reflection on our return to the workplace and on the weaving of social and professional links within the Institute. Informal meetings would be organised regularly to share our experiences and to consider ways forward.
- Creating a PSY Kaf Kaf to have coffee with colleagues.
- Setting up a working group to organise events that bring people together, which could take the form of a conference, a series of conference-flashes or even moments of exchange and sharing of practices between researchers (e.g. data management, ethical aspects, relations with the media, etc.).
