Participation in the International Conference Emerging Adults on the Road to Maturity (EA2026)

The Transition to Adulthood in Spain (TAE) research team will take part in the international conference EA2026 – Emerging Adults on the Road to Maturity, organized by the Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood. The event will be held in Poznan (Poland) from 29 June to 1 July 2026.

This conference is a key forum for advancing research on Emerging Adulthood, a developmental stage that has gained increasing relevance in industrialized societies due to the postponement of traditional adult roles and the profound socio‑historical changes shaping the lives of young people.

Contributions from the TAE Team

Three researchers from our project will represent the team with scientific contributions addressing psychosocial development, family support, and adaptation during emerging adulthood:

• Inmaculada Sánchez Queija will present the poster: “Longitudinal Change of Self-Perceived Employability Throughout Emerging Adulthood.”
• Águeda Parra Jiménez will participate in a symposium with the presentation: “The Lasting Impact of Family Social Support.”
• María del Carmen García Mendoza will contribute to another symposium with the presentation: “Growing Apart or Growing Together? Family and Flourishing in Emerging Adulthood: A Longitudinal Analysis of Spanish University Students.”

Participation in EA2026 reinforces the project’s commitment to rigorous research, knowledge dissemination, and the study of factors that promote psychosocial adjustment and well‑being among young people as they navigate the transition to adulthood.

The Transition to Adulthood in Spain (TAE) Project relies on the joint institutional collaboration of researchers from the Universidad de Sevilla, the Escuela Universitaria de Osuna (an affiliated center of the Universidad de Sevilla), and the Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea.
