NIODA/ISPSO Symposium 2026: Holding the Turbulent World at Work

This year NIODA and ISPSO join forces to bring you the annual international online symposium on the topic of Holding the turbulent world at work. This combination happily brings the two organisations plans to hold separate symposia in 2026 to a combined symposium.

We are currently accepting abstracts and will announce our panels upon selection.

We're expecting participants from around the world, so we've scheduled sessions across a range of times to make sure there's a good mix for different time zones. Rather than clustering everything in one block that works well for some and poorly for others, we've spread sessions across the symposium so that wherever you are, you'll have options at reasonable hours

Join us live online for an interactive experience packed with small group discussions so you can diver deeper into the topics.

This is a call for abstracts for papers to be presented at this online international symposium sponsored by NIODA and ISPSO.

The goal of this symposium Holding the Turbulent World at Work is to deepen our collective understanding of the underlying psychological and systemic forces at work in this turbulent world, their impacts at work and on organisations and how we work with them.

We invite you to read the detail below and submit your abstractfor selection by midnight 3 June CET and presenters will be advised by Monday 22 June 2026. Join us in this crucial conversation for the improvement of organisations, community and society.
