Being part of the JRP has allowed me to grow so much both academically and socially. I joined after my first year at university and had practically no experience in research. However, the support, passion, and encouragement of my supervisor Dr Tomas Folke, my research team, and the rest of JRP, made this an incredible learning environment for me. As a result, the JRP has been a big factor in shaping my undergraduate experience and I now hope to pursue research in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to join the JRP no matter how much or how little research experience you have. You will find a strong community of passionate and dedicated people ready to both support and challenge you!

Coming from a degree that is mostly focused on Clinical Psychology, I had significant knowledge gaps in research methodology and practice. jSchool was a life-changing experience that helped me develop the academic skills I needed to pursue a career in research. For the first time, I went through every stage of a typical social science research project – getting ethical board approval, planning a research study, collecting and analyzing data, publishing a scientific paper, and all that while working with international team members with various skill sets. I would say that jSchool is a sort of a “Bootcamp” in psychology and behavioural sciences – for 13 months you get substantial know-how of research methods and plenty of opportunities to apply them.

In January of 2017, no less than four of my friends notified me of the call for supervisors of the JRP’s 2017/18 cohort. They all thought that this programme is tailored for me – and they were right. Luckily enough, I got in. Standing next to young creative scientists and supporting them in the process of developing research skills and acquiring knowledge is one of the most rewarding aspects of scientific craft. As we all know, the group is smarter than its smartest member, and thanks to the JRP and the team behind it, I had a chance to be part of this great collective effort. It was pure 13-month-long enjoyment and JRP is unparalleled to any other extracurricular programme that I know of.

Dr Sander van der Linden The JRP is a great opportunity for students and early career researchers in the behavioural sciences. My experience as an invited lecturer for the 2017 event in Croatia was wonderful – the participants, project leaders, and volunteers were highly engaging for both the scientific and social aspects. I recommend anyone interested in getting the first opportunity to lead an international research team of motivated young psychologist consider applying.
