Researchers interested in studying emotions in organizational settings are invited to submit empirical or theoretical papers for presentation at the Sixth Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life (‘Emonet VI’), to be held in Fontainebleau, France, July 17–19, 2008. The conference aims to provide a forum for some of the significant advances that have been made in our understanding of the role of emotions in organizational life. The conference papers will be considered for inclusion in Volumes 5 and 6 of the Elsevier Science Annual Series, Research on Emotion in Organizations.
The submission deadline is March 31, 2008. Papers are to be submitted via the Emonet Web site http://www.uq.edu.au/emonet/, and will be subject to blind review. Format is per the submission guidelines for the Academy of Management. A brief statement of authors’ preference for presentation format should also accompany submissions. It is anticipated that a wide variety of delivery styles will be used, including symposia, panel discussions, workshops, posters, and traditional presentations.
Authors unable to attend the conference are also invited to submit their papers to be considered for inclusion in the book. These papers will be available for workshopping at the conference and will be subject to the same review process as the conference papers. Authors should indicate whether they wish to have their work reviewed for presentation at the conference, the book, or both.

A Call for Citations and Abstracts of Published Research on Work and Aging
Ruth Kanfer, representing the Scientific Affairs Committee, in conjunction with The Federation for Behavioral, Psychological, and Cognitive Sciences, is organizing a “Science Forum” that is designed to increase the visibility of SIOP and its members doing research on topics of import to federal fgencies. The goal is to better network our researchers, policy makers, and granting agencies. The first topic (we anticipate conducting others) is on Work and Aging: Psychological-Organizational Science Contributions to the Management of an Aging and Age-Diverse Workforce. The Science Forum will bring together a small group of leading researchers in the topic area, representatives of Federal Agencies, and policy makers for a series of presentations and discussions. The Scientific Affairs Committee will provide more information about the Science Forum as planning proceeds.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. To broaden the impact of the forum and increase the benefit to SIOP members, we are planning to produce a compendium of SIOP member abstracts on research relevant to the Science Forum. A bound compilation of abstracts, describing recent scientific research on work and aging by members of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) will be distributed to all forum participants and attendees, along with a listing of SIOP researcher names and contact information. To accomplish this, we need your input: If you have published relevant research, we need you to e-mail the citation and maximum 100-word abstract (Word format; Subject line in e-mail: Science Forum) to Seth Kaplan at George Mason University (skaplan1@gmu.edu) no later than November 30, 2007.
