Like a guiding light, the Boost and Exchange Academic Conference (BEACON) supports early career researchers at the Faculty of Psychology in finding new opportunities for scientific exchange, shared learning, and professional development.

The ^4th BEACON Conference (September 13th) of the Faculty of Psychology was dedicated to the topic 'Connect Your Science'.

Recognizing that outstanding research is built on strong teamwork, this year BEACON focused on the topic ‘Connect Your Science’. Our workshops were designed to help young researchers enhance their skills in conflict resolution, collaborative writing, and self-management, aiming to foster both effective collaboration and personal well-being. The keynote speaker highlighted innovative ways scientists can support each other’s work by identifying and correcting research errors. A panel discussion explored strategies for finding collaborators within academic settings. As always, BEACON offered opportunities to present research through posters, engage with peers during academic speed dating, and network over coffee breaks and Apéro.
