EU
Research Round Table
The
EAP Institute has a strong historical interest in promoting research in
Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP’s) and related areas. Many completed
research projects have been presented at its annual conference.
With
the inauguration of the Employee Assistance Research Foundation
(EARF) at the Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA)
Conference in San Diego in October 2008, the Institute responded by
developing an EU Research Round Table. The first meeting took place
during the 29th Annual EAP Conference in Dublin on 17th
September 2008. The purpose of
this meeting was to focus on promoting EAP research and related areas,
initially in two EU member states, Ireland and the United Kingdom and to
examine EAP research in the 27 member EU states.
The Institute has followed the
guidelines of the (EARF) and established an interest group to progress research
in the EU consisting of;
· Academics (Research)
· EAP Provider Consultant (profit or non profit)
· EAP User/Consumer/Supplier
· Workplace Research Collaborative
· Visiting Research Speakers
