If the person who presents a paper belongs to any of the institutions that have signed a special agreement with APICSA, they can benefit from the special rate. In addition, the organization of the congress will give a certificate in recognition of their participation in the conference as a speaker who has presented one or more papers (in addition to the attendance certificate).

How much time will I have for the presentation of my work if I send it to be presented as a poster?2019-02-14T22:40:24+01:00

The poster must be placed in the place assigned by the organization of the congress on the same day of its exhibition, in the morning or in the afternoon.

What is the difference between sending a symposium or an oral communication?2019-02-14T22:42:20+01:00

The oral communication, if accepted, will be included later, by the Scientific Committee of the congress, in a symposium together with other papers that address a similar topic. On the contrary, the symposium that have been proposed as a whole (with 4 or 5 communications), if accepted, are presented as they were originally proposed.

What does it mean that I can send a symposium?2019-02-14T22:44:25+01:00

A person may be interested in organizing their own symposium for the congress on a specific topic of Clinical or Health Psychology. In this case, that person (the chair of the symposium) has contacted 4 or 5 people so that each one presents their work around a central theme. For these symposia, the coordinator must send these works (abstracts) together, including the name of the coordinator and the title of the symposium.

How much time will I have for the presentation of my work if I send it to be presented as “oral communication”?2019-02-14T22:45:58+01:00

The exposure time can vary between 12 and 15 minutes approximately. Keep in mind that your work will be included along with four or five other works to form a symposium. Each symposium will last 90 minutes. At this time, the symposium coordinator must make a brief introduction, then each author will present their work and at the end there will be a time for debate with the presenters, based on all questions and comments from the public.

In what language can I submit my work?2019-02-14T22:53:30+01:00

The official languages of the congress are English, Portuguese and Spanish, so you can present your work in any of these three languages.

What should the abstract of the paper include?2019-02-14T23:09:25+01:00

The abstract should have between 250 and 300 words. A good abstract should contain an introductory phrase or background of the work, the goal or purpose of the research, a description of the method used (e.g., description of the participants, instruments used and how the research was developed). Then the main results and a conclusion that allows establishing the relationship between the results and the initial goal must be included. We recommend taking a look at the summaries that are published in prestigious scientific journals to be used as an example.

What does the registration fee include?2019-02-14T22:51:41+01:00

Registration for the congress includes attendance at all conferences, symposiums, oral communications and posters submitted to it. Also you will receive as part of your registration the proceedings of the congress, which will be a special issue of the journal Behavioral Psychology / Psicología Conductual (https://www.behavioralpsycho.com/) where the abstracts of all the previous academic activities will be included, besides of the workshops.

At the price of the registration to the congress, attendance at the pre-congress workshops is not included, which will have to be paid separately at the time of registration.

What is the best way to pay the registration?2023-09-26T10:13:49+02:00

For Spain and European countries, bank transfer is usually a fast and cheap way to pay for the congress. You can also pay by credit card (a highly recommended option) or by Paypal. See options in the registration section of the congress website.

For people outside the European Union, the safest and cheapest way to register for the conference is through Stripe with your usual credit card. You can also pay through Paypal opening a free account in Paypal (this way you can associate your bank account with Paypal and pay with it without any kind of expense). See options in the registration section of the congress website.

If you do not have your own credit card or your parents or a friend credit card, you can pay by sending the registration money through Western Union ((even if you pay in the currency of your country, you will have to see what amount corresponds to the price in euros of the congress registration). Remember that all the costs involved in this shipment are at your own expense.

Finally, one last payment option for countries outside of the European Union is the international bank transfer. It is usually the most expensive, unless you live in a European country. Remember that all transfer costs are paid by whoever makes the transfer. We recommend that you ask your bank how much these expenses amount to before doing it, because they can be really high.

Are there any special discounts on the congress registration fee?2023-09-26T09:56:25+02:00

Members of associations, universities or other institutions that collaborate with the event have an important discount in the congress registration, as you can see when registering (members of collaborating entities).

Do I have to be a member of APICSA to attend the congress?2019-02-14T23:07:19+01:00

You do not have to be a member of APICSA to attend the congress. Anyone interested in Clinical Psychology or Health Psychology can attend, as well as present papers. However, members of APICSA have special prices. In case you want to become a member, you can add the APICSA membership at the time of paying the registration to the congress and pay it as a member, with the consequent special prices. In summary, first check the box to become a member of APICSA and then choose the category that corresponds to register for the congress (professional member of APICSA, undergraduate member of APICSA, etc.). If you choose a workshop, you can also do so as a member of APICSA in the corresponding category (professional member, student member). If you still have doubts, write to: apicsacolombia@msn.com

How do I book a hotel?2023-09-26T09:38:19+02:00

The event organizers have reserved a number of rooms at the congress hotel (Hotel Abades Nevada Palace****) for those attending the event at a reasonable price, including breakfast. However, in Granada there are many hotels of different categories (from pensions to 5 star hotels). You can search on the Internet and contact each hotel directly to make your room reservation. You can also do it through the many platforms that exist for booking hotels (e.g. Booking, Tripadvisor, etc.). What we do advise you is that, once you are sure that you are going to attend the congress, book your room as soon as possible, because in October Granada usually has other congresses and many tourists.
