Planning a career in psychological assessment: Lessons learned from the EAPA Winter School 2021.

Two aims that are explicitly formulated in the mission statement of the European Association of Psychological Assessment (EAPA) are to “promote the interest of young professionals and scientists in the science of psychological assessment” and to “create opportunities for scientific exchange about psychological assessment.” In an effort to address these goals, EAPA held its first-ever Winter School bringing early career researchers (ECRs) and experts together. The school was hosted by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg on May 7, 2021 (online due to the pandemic situation). In this Editorial, we highlight some of the issues discussed, advice and concerns expressed about what to consider when planning a career in psychological assessment. We hope that this Editorial helps to serve as an additional building block in supporting young scholars at the beginning of their career. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
