Organized by the Master’s in Social Psychology of Health and the Health4All Research Group of the Centre for Psychological Research and Social Intervention (CIS-Iscte), the event was designed to support the development of emerging researchers working in the field of Health and Wellbeing Psychology. The initiative offered students a unique platform to share their work, develop communication skills, and connect with peers and faculty in an academic but informal setting.

The two-part “blitz-style” format encouraged concise and impactful communication. Each participant gave a one-minute oral presentation to introduce their work, followed by a lively poster session where attendees could engage in more in-depth conversations. The organizers were pleased with the outcome and highlighted the enthusiasm with which students presented their research.

Emphasizing their commitment to making the Poster Blitz an annual tradition, the Organizing Committee of this first edition was composed of Jéssica Pimentel, Catarina Santos, Mafalda Esteves, and Soraia Morais.
