"Meet the Expert" is intended to promote research facilitation and interaction between early and advanced career scientists. This initiative provides all researchers at the EHPS Conference especially young researchers with the opportunity to consult with leading scientists in their field of their interest in a very friendly and relaxed environment. These pre-conference sessions have been running since the Maastricht Health Psychology Conference in 2007 with excellent feedback every year.
Each year, a group of experts are selected who are established research leaders with numerous scientific publications and outstanding academic experience in health psychology.
