The Lamia Sabbah Ali-Ahmed National Psychology Research Day 2025

Welcome Message

Student research has taken the forefront at LAU and across various universities in Lebanon; however, no events so far have aimed at bringing together undergraduate and graduate students to share their experiences conducting research, and sharing their findings with peers in the field.

The Department of Psychology and Education at LAU’s School of Arts and Sciences aims to innovate on this front, promoting visibility of the Psychology Program and LAU as a whole, on the undergraduate research scene. We hope to host students from various Lebanese psychology departments/programs for a national research day in psychology, to share their research findings.

Hosted in memory of LAU Psychology Alumna Ms. Lamia Sabbah Ali-Ahmad, whose seminal 1959 thesis on child psychology underscores the important role of scientific research in our field, we hope this initiative will facilitate cross-university research collaborations amongst students and faculty. This National Psychology Research Day aims to provide an engaging platform for presentation and discussion on the latest research and advancements across various areas of psychology, including clinical, epidemiological and social, among others. It also fosters valuable cross-university research collaborations among students and faculty.

Undergraduate and graduate students will have to submit their abstract to be reviewed by the scientific committee to secure a spot for an oral presentation or a poster presentation. Published and unpublished studies will be accepted.
