The Winter School is part of the training organized for the Master Erasmus +: Erasmus Mundus in Work, Organizations and Personnel Psychology (https://www.erasmuswop.org/), taught in the consortium of five European universities (Barcelona, Bologna, Coimbra, Paris-Descartes and Valencia). A dedicated team of professors from the School of Psychology and the research institute of the University of Valencia – IDOCAL coordinates the Winter School.

Second, Intensive Residential Phase where participants congregate at Gandia International Centre for series of workshops and lectures. Lastly, Integration where participants work independently with the support of the online platform (virtual classroom) of the University of Valencia.
