| Professor Cyril Höschl (1949–2025), EPA President, 2007 – 2008
The EPA is deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Cyril Höschl on 21 April 2025.
A visionary leader and dedicated psychiatrist, Prof. Höschl served as EPA President in 2007-2008, Chair of the Local Organising Committee of the 20th European Congress of Psychiatry in Prague (2012), and was instrumental in driving the transformation of the Association européenne de psychiatrie (AEP) into the European Psychiatric Association (EPA), laying the foundation for the world-leading association we know today.
Prof. Höschl was widely admired for his intellect, his charismatic personality, and his sense of humour. A mentor, teacher, and friend to many, he inspired the current generation of psychiatrists across Europe and beyond. Prof. Höschl’s contributions to the field, and to the EPA itself, will not be forgotten. The EPA extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
May he rest in peace. |
