conference focuses on accomplishments and future challenges in Aviation Psychology. EAAP was founded as WEAAP, Western European Association for Aviation Psychology, in 1956 by nine Aviation Psychologists meeting in Scheveningen, the Netherlands. Shortly thereafter the association was officially registered in Amsterdam. In 1994 the association was renamed into EAAP to account for the whole of Europe, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Thus it was finally decided to host and organise the 2006 EAAP jubilee conference near Berlin in the SEMINARIS Hotel (www.seminaris.de) within the picturesque and historical vicinity of Potsdam. The beginning of the conference is dedicated to reflect on the history and achievements within the various domains and areas of aviation psychology. The board of EAAP has invited several honory members who are witnesses of the early years of EAAP. The board hopes that some of them are able to attend the conference. Invited speakers give an overview on human engineering aspects, selection and training of aviation personnel as well as incident and accident investigations. Overviews are also given on human factors aspects in Regulation and Certification, in ATC/ATM and in Maintenance
