The SAGE Best Student Poster Awards (sponsored by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. publishers — A part of SAGE) recognizes excellence in student-led research presented in poster format. These awards honor innovative, methodologically rigorous, and clearly communicated research that contributes to advancing knowledge in psychology and related behavioral sciences.
The awards are open to undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students who are the primary authors of a poster presented at the conference. Posters will be evaluated based on scientific quality, originality, clarity of visual and written communication, and relevance to the conference themes.
Two student winners will be selected. Each awardee will receive a monetary prize of $250 (USD), generously sponsored by SAGE, and the winners will be formally announced during the conference.
The CYBER – Cyberspace, Behaviour and e-Therapy Erasmus Mundus Joint Master is a two-year interdisciplinary program combining behavioral sciences and computational fields to study and intervene in human behavior through digital technologies. The program brings together students from Human Behavior (HBB) and Exact Sciences and Engineering (EEB) backgrounds and is jointly offered by Universidade Lusófona (Portugal), the University of Barcelona (Spain), and Université Paris Cité (France). Students collaborate in interdisciplinary CYBER Teams (CYBER-T) throughout the program (www.cyber-t.eu).
The CYBER Award recognizes outstanding research conducted by MSc and/or PhD students. Eligible work must focus on the application or validation of digital technologies—such as VR, AR, XR, and AI—to better understand or intervene in human behavior. The award, valued at €300, is open to students from both CYBER tracks. Applicants must attend the CYPSY30 Conference in person and present an oral communication of original research. The award will be presented by Professor Pedro Gamito, Head of the CYBER Program.
To mark more than two decades of remarkable progress in CyberTherapy, and to celebrate the continued growth of the CyberPsychology, CyberTherapy & Social Networking Conference, we are pleased to announce the 30th Annual CyberTherapy Lifetime Achievement Award.
