 EFPSA’s Developments

The mandate 2019-2020 is slowly coming to an end, as there are only two months left until the next EFPSA Congress. All teams are working hard to ensure finishing the projects that they started working on. For some teams, there might still be enough time to start a new project and to pass it on for their successors. Follow the work of the teams on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn by searching “EFPSA”.

 4th EFPSA Conference (November, 2019 - Prague, Czech Republic)

In November 2019, EFPSA hosted its 4th EFPSA Conference with the topic "Environmental Psychology: Humans in their surrounding world." The EFPSA Event was hosted in Prague by the Czech Organising Committee. Related to the theme, the Organising Committee thought of every detail to be conscious of its environment. EFPSA is proud to foster intercultural dialogue between professionals, academics and students!
