EFPSA (European Federation Of Psychology Students' Associations)

The European Federation of Psychology Students’ Associations (EFPSA) was established in 1987 as a not-for-profit student-run Federation, at the first International Congress of Psychology Students in Portugal. EFPSA represents a highly diverse network of psychology students working on a voluntary basis by and for psychology students of Europe. The Federation currently consists of 32 Psychology Member Organisations and one Observer Organisation. Currently EFPSA organises nine annual and one biennial events across Europe. Additionally, EFPSA runs five Services, the EFPSA Junior Research Programme (JRP), the Social Impact Initiative (SII), the Training Office (TO,) Study and Travel Abroad (STA), as well as an Open Access Journal, the Journal of European Psychology Students (JEPS). Altogether EFPSA has positioned itself to provide psychology students with unique and exciting opportunities for academic, professional and personal development. Our mission is to bring psychology students together on a European level to enrich their concept and application of psychology and encourage skill development in order to contribute to the improvement of the field; have a positive impact on society and its perception of psychology; support scientific and social interaction and cultural exchange between psychology students, academics and professionals. Our vision is to have a psychologically aware society where the misconceptions that surround it are diminished in order to enhance general well-being; to provide services and events that accommodate the vast expanse of needs of psychology students to develop themselves professionally and reach interconnectedness across all of Europe. The Federation is run by seven Board of Management members and an Executive Board of over 50 individuals and our Member Representatives form the legal- body of the Federation. We currently also have two established Task Forces, namely the Internship Task Force and the Partnership Task Force.
