Centre for Applied Psychological Research -
International Collaborations
To stay at the cutting edge of research in work and organisational
psychology, CAPR members regularly engage with international scholars,
travelling abroad to collaborate, and lead, attend and contribute to
international conferences in the field. CAPR also has productive
collaborative partnerships with several distinguished international scholars
in work and organisational psychology. These scholars regularly visit the
Centre and contribute to its teaching and research activities.
TESTIMONIALS
I really enjoyed my visits to CAPR. A well-blended mix of researchers
with high international reputation, engaged lecturers, and plenty of
doctoral, honours and master students conducting research has proven to
frequently result in articles published in the best psychology journals
creates an academic atmosphere that is rarely found elsewhere. CAPR is also
a melting pot where international colleagues come together; there is almost
no chance to stay there for a couple of weeks without meeting leading
researchers from abroad. They present their most recent research results in
regular research seminars, which are augmented by ongoing discussions of
current research, planning of collaborative projects, and, last but not
least, by plenty of social activities after work hours that offer unique
opportunities to get connected.

The opportunity to work at CAPR represents a great challenge for
everybody. Personally, I felt surrounded by professionals who manifested
important personal values. Without any doubt it was an improvement on my
career, not only because of the topics and domains they work with, but also
because of the methods and statistics they apply to their research. In sum,
I joined a cheerful group of researchers (including international students
extremely engaged and well-prepared) who passed their enthusiasm and high
quality standards on to me.

I am PhD student in my last year now, studying work stress of service
providers in Mainz, Germany. I have been working at CAPR for 3 months in
2009 as a visiting academic researcher. Maureen Dollard (head of the centre)
gave me the great opportunity to be part of the Work and Stress research
group during this time. I had the chance to get involved in research
projects on work, stress, and health, psychosocial safety climate, and
work-family conflict. I was glad to discuss my work in turn with advanced
scholars as well as other PhD students. Also, I had the chance to listen to
several interesting talks and presentations on research topics of the
centre. In turn, I was invited to give a talk on my research for the Master
student class of organizational psychology. In my whole time working at the
Centre, I got helpful feedback for my own work and at the same time got an
idea of many of the great and interesting research projects that are
conducted by CAPR. As a results, we decided to keep up our research
cooperation and initiated several publications, conference presentations and
symposia together. Since 2009, I am in frequent contact with the members of
Work and Stress Research Group, which makes me very happy and proud to be
still connected to CAPR!
