Welcome to the Member-site of the JPS

This is the place for membership renewal, and for registration and submission for conferences of the Jean Piaget Society.

This sub-site was launched together with the new main site on December 21, 2020 to fulfill the promise to the JPS community to provide better membership information.

On this sub-site you, as member, can, after login, find several registration forms with online payment options, submission forms, and a history of your registrations and payments.

Account registration

Account registration is free and remains valid as long as you like. Making an account is distinct from becoming a member, because for some activities you must first become a member, but for others that is not obligatory. After creating an account, you will receive an email confirmation with a listing of all info on this form. You can also update your information.

Log in

After making an account you are not automatically logged in (for safety reasons). But you can immediately log in with your self chosen password (please be sure to remember it) and you don’t have to wait for the email confirmation. Once you are logged in, you never have to type in information that you have already provided; all new forms will be automatically pre-populated with that information. If you do not remember your password, no problem, you can do the lost password procedure. Never make a new account; mail to member@Piaget.org in case of persistent problems!

Membership Registration

Becoming a member requires payment of your membership dues for a given year. Membership is valid to the end of the calendar year. On the form your account information is pre-filled (click on the arrow). Street address information, which might be needed for reimbursements for some universities, is retrieved from the previous year if available, or can be entered. After the payment was successful, you will see a green success message on screen, you can go back to the form (but the payment fields are no longer accessible because you can cannot change your payment), but under my-History you can see a summary of all your membership and conference registration information, in addition you will receive two emails: one with an overview overview with a listing of all info on this form and including a downloadable pdf receipt, and one with a receipt send by our credit card handler. Also, the button Submit you just clicked will change to Update.

How to pay?

Credit Card

We use Stripe to handle Credit Card payments. You only have to enter your credit card information, that is all.
After a successful payment, your Membership Status will change to Completed and your User Role will switch to “member23”, unleashing new possibilities, such as Conference 2023 registration. Also, the button Submit you just clicked will change to Update.

Confirmation

How do I know my payment was successful? First, you will see a green success message on your screen immediately after submitting the form, and under My-History (top menu) you can see a summary of your memberships and registrations. Next, you will receive two emails: one with a receipt for the credit card payment, and one with an overview of all information including your own address address and including a downloadable pdf receipt. Together, this should suffice for reimbursements from your employer. In addition, you can go back to the form, but not much can be changed (because you are not allowed to change your payment, in case of problems contact the webmaster); only your role can be updated. The form will be closed at the end of the year.

Failed Payments

If you have clicked on Submit but your payment was cancelled, did not go through, or if there were card issues, your status will continue to be indicated as “waiting” and you will receive no emails. You can check if your status is “completed” or “waiting” on the My-History page or in the form you were submitting, but be patient.
In case of failed payments, on the form itself, in rare cases, the button Submit might be changed to Update. Since Updating does not affect your status, and does not allow payment anew, using it does not help. In very rare cases, if the button is still on Submit, e.g., if you tried go back, you may get a warning you can not submit again.

Fortunately, to solve these problems, if your status does not change to completed within 15 minutes, your entry will be automatically deleted. Once you receive an email message that your entry has been deleted, you can try again.

Renewal

A new membership form allows you to pay for the next year: member2022, member2023, etc..

This form will have all information copied from last year, so, you typically only have to type in your credit card information (we don’t store that) and submit. We decided not to charge you automatically (consumer protection), so you need to do this each year, but we made it very user friendly to do this.

You can make changes to your address in this form (overriding the info retrieved from earlier years). You cannot make changes to your affiliation in this form, go to your account form to make such changes if needed, and only after that fill in the new member form.

No membership required?

In some cases e.g. because you are an honorary member, or an invited plenary speaker, you are automatically member (taken care of by the webmaster). Please note that you have to go through the other steps (so, first make an account, and register for the conference) for technical, administrative, and safety reasons, including the fact that we don’t have street address information (needed for a proper receipt). We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

In some cases (e.g. external invited speaker, volunteer, or a tech assistant, etc.) you need not be member.

Conference Registration

Once you are a member you can register (and pay) for the conference. Relevant fields are pre-populated again with your account and member information. You only need to make a few simple choices.

The procedure is like the procedure for member registration in other respects. With same kind of email confirmations and a summary on the My-History page.

The form will be closed immediately after successful payment. But all important info is visible always in My-History.

In some special cases, the registration fee can be waived: Choosing the Waived option and supplying the right password, the payment parts of the form are deactivated, and you can register without paying.

Conference Submissions

Proposals need not address the conference theme—we welcome submissions on any topic in developmental science.

You do not have to be a member to be able to submit proposals, but all presenters need to have or make their own account (including presenters in a symposium organized by someone else!).

Of course, in order to participate in the conference, you need to become member for the right year and register in time.

We have two kinds of submissions:

1 The usual options will show in the form if you indicate you want to upload an individual abstract, irrespective of type of contribution: individual paper, individual poster, symposium contribution, or discussion contribution. Also, a reviewer summery might be asked for. There is a word length maximum. You are not allowed to enter more than two such abstracts per person.

2 Different options will show in the form if you indicate that you want to organize a Symposium or Discussion. If you want to organize a Symposium or Discussion, you must bring together a group of presenters, but you need not (and can not) submit their abstracts: they have to that themselves (see 1)!

In this submission you can indicate who are the participating presenters and provide an overall summery for the review process and an abstract highlighting the common theme or aim.

All further information for participating presenters will be retrieved from their submissions once you enter their email address. If they have no submission made yet, no problem, just leave the email address, the other information will be retrieved later on (when they have made an account themselves). In that case, you need to revisit the form after they have done so, to confirm these updates.

General

I can’t fill in a field

If you cannot type in a field, it usually means the field it is on read-only (highlighted in blue on the perimeter of the box) because information should be retrieved from another form. You can go to the Form this information was supposed to be retrieved from (e.g. account for affiliation) and supply the requested information there and next do Update on the original form.

Update

Clicking the Update button allows you to make changes like a new address or a new affiliation but updating can not be used to retry payments and does not affect your history. To update information, best go back the form you initially entered (or should have entered) the information. When succesful, you will receive a confirmation email. Next, you may reconfirm the changes on dependent forms.

My-History

On the My-History page you can see a summary of your registrations. Please scroll down to see them all.

Problems?

If the Submit button does not seem to work, this maybe caused by errors in one of the fields on the form: inspect your form carefully for error messages, in small print, in red, under a field or set of fields. Correct the problem and all will be fine.

In case of persistent problems contact the webmaster at member@Piaget.org
