The organizers of the XIV European Conference on Developmental Psychology invite you to take part in this conference to be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, August 18-22, 2009.

The European Society for Developmental Psychology was founded in 1994, aiming to support the interests of developmental psychologists working in Europe. Main objectives of ESDP are to govern the stimulation, support, and conduct of developmental research in the European context. A major institution in the pursuit of these goals is the European Conference on Developmental Psychology. This biennial conference offers a forum for researchers and all those who want to learn more about studying human development.

The conference will focus on the most relevant topics and issues within recent theoretical and methodological advances of developmental psychology, basic research and applied areas and will provide a forum for presentation of a wide range of papers in all aspects of human development in European contexts. Over and beyond basic research, we will put emphasis on the transfer of psychological insights to social policies and programme development.
