The Executive Committee is honoured to announce that the 2017 Lewin Awards go to our colleagues Fabrizio Butera, Pablo Brinol,  and Colin Leach, … which recognises mid-career achievements in social psychology (you can read more about the award here: http://www.easp.eu/about/awards/kurt-lewin-medals/. This award is selected by an independent selection committee and chaired by the President of EASP. This year, the selection committee consisted of Monica Rubini, Andrea Abele-Brehm, Francois Ric, and Manuela Barreto.Leach

… We tried to consider the candidates in a holistic fashion, going beyond quantitative criteria, such as number of publications and their citations or journal impact factors. We also strove to recognise a variety of profiles, in recognition of the value of diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to social psychology. {The winners} track records are terribly impressive, as well as showcasing great breadth and innovation, both theoretically and methodologically. It is a great honour to recognise their contributions. …

On behalf of the EC and the members of EASP, I wish to congratulate Pablo, Fabrizio, and Colin on their amazing work.
Manuela Barreto, on behalf of the Executive Committee
