The BAPS executive committee (EC) has now made a shortlist for the 2025 Best PhD Thesis Award. We received 17 applications (3 UCLouvain, 2 ULiège, 6 KULeuven, 3 ULB, 1 VUB, 1 UMons, 1 UGent) from a range of subdisciplines in psychology. Five members of the EC from various areas of psychology read the summary and impact statement of all applications except those from their own universities and those for which there was a COI (e.g., joint publications).
Three applications were shortlisted for the award:
- Arthur Pabst (UCLouvain)
- Eline Van Geert (KULeuven)
- Hella Thielen (KULeuven)
The shortlisted applications will now be evaluated by a jury of experts. The winner will be announced during the 2025 BAPS Annual Meeting.
The EC jury members were amazed by the quality of the applications that we received. As an association that promotes psychological science in Belgium, we can only be delighted to see that our junior psychological scientists are performing at such high scientific level.
