The meeting, guided by the topic, “How can EPA and NPAs co-operate to promote Psychiatry in Europe,” was attended by the EPA President, the NPA Steering Committee and representatives of EPA NPAs.

Joint Symposia 2018

The EPA, through its Council of NPAs, is present every year in at least one or two national events of its national members with the Council of NPAs Symposia. The Symposia are dedicated to present-day problematics in psychiatry, offering a European and national perspective. This is a way to make the EPA aims and activities visible on a national level and also highlight the local specificities and needs.
