Greetings JASP attendees!

 

Below is a tentative schedule for our 2026 program, which is meant to aid your travel planning and purchase of optional program add-ons. The add-on experiences have been carefully scheduled so as to not overlap with core JASP programming such as discussion groups, dance practices, or plenary lectures. This program is subject to addition and change, so please watch this space!
