Following the statement, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a statement noting the heavy toll the pandemic had taken, at the same time remarking "This pandemic changed the face of the EU, which has become a true European Health Union.

The European Journal of Psychology Open (EJPO) is working towards its third volume
Prof. Georgia Panayiotou
The European Journal of Psychology Open has entered it’s 3rd year of publication under its current title! Twenty-six papers have already been published, representing work from all parts of the world.
In accord with the journal’s vision, it has been able to offer a quick review process for most papers, and has engaged both established and Early Career Researchers in the review and editing process. It welcomes original, high quality empirical papers from all fields of Psychology and envisions to showcase the newest ideas in Psychology in Europe and the world.
The Journal has successfully published a Special lssue on “Perspectives on the Psychological Impact of Covid-19 across the World” in 2021. Stay tuned for the publication of its next Special Issue on "The Latest in Psychology from Europe and the World. Insights from the 17th European Congress of Psychology" containing a selection of papers from keynote speakers, presenters and participants at the 2022 ECP in Ljubljana. EJPO thanks the Guest Editors, Mojca Jurisevic and Christoph Steinebach for taking on this task. EJPO is looking forward to publishing a new special issue, open for submissions by all participants at the ECP 2023 in Brighton, on any area of Psychology. To this end, it will offer a generously reduced APC.
The journal also welcomes ideas for special issues, on any topic in Psychology, and is especially interested in covering topics stemming from the work of EFPA committees. EJPO is the official open access empirical journal of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA).
