Mission
EPA has established sections that have their own steering committees. The mission of the 19 active EPA sections is to explore and solve problems in different specific areas of psychiatry, to collect and disseminate information, to establish working relations between individuals and with different national and international bodies working in the same field, and to achieve greater coordination. These Sections organise their own symposia under the aegis of EPA, and annual conferences in Europe.
