CRESP applications for the year 2024 are closed.

Specific aim

IPSO’s CRESP aims to facilitate candidates’ access to cross-regional scientific or training events ––such as congresses, meetings, training seminars, etc.–– which are affiliated with the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA), including IPSO Regional events.

The support covers the following set of financial and logistical benefits:

  1. Reimbursement of airfare up to 1,000 USD
  2. Reimbursement of registration fee to the event up to 250 USD
  3. If requested, IPSO will endeavor to provide lodging in a candidate’s home through its members; host candidate members are encouraged but not required to provide this accommodation
  4. CRESP can be combined with other IPSO programs such as the Self-Financed Visiting Candidate Program, but not the Financial Incentive Visiting Candidate Program

Who can apply?

IPSO candidates in good standing and who wish to attend a scientific or training event in an IPA-IPSO Region different from their own.

Based on geographical location, intercontinental applications for a CRESP will be considered even if they are intraregional.
