However, there has been a shift in recent years, with mental health being increasingly discussed and recognized as a critical issue. 

This growing awareness is precisely why the 17^th conference of the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology (EAHOP), set under the theme “Mental Health at work: From research to policy and practice”, is particularly important and timely. The conference will take place from the 15^th to the 17^th of June 2026 at the University of Helsinki, Finland. 

This conference will be a great opportunity for OSH experts to discuss, debate and approach the topic of mental health from a multidisciplinary perspective. It will include keynotes from Professor Jari Hakanen and Professor Sabine Sonnentag, poster and oral presentations, as well as several invited and special symposia, including a session providing an international OHP perspective from the International Coordinating Group for Occupational Health Psychology (ICG-OHP). 

A call for papers is now open until November 2025.
