EFPSA, the European Federation of Psychology Student’s Association, is established in 1987 with the first International Congress of Psychology Students in Portugal and now consists of 28 psychology students’ organisations of 28 European countries. Stimulated by its mission, vision and values, EFPSA attracts more and more students every year, with the number of its members increasing and so far represents approximately 300.000 psychology students across Europe.

EFPSA is a multicultural and colourful network of European psychology students’ associations, run on a voluntary basis by and for psychology students of Europe. Its mission is to represent the needs and interests of the European psychology students, to promote the scientific cooperation and cultural exchange between them and enhance their mobility

Its aim is to be a reliable and widely acknowledged representative of the European Psychology Students, including students themselves, psychologists, institutions, and professional organisations of national and European level.

Structure

The organizational structure of EFPSA consists of the Executive Board (EB) and the Member Representatives (MRs).

The MRs represents the 28 students’ organisations within EFPSA and are the link between these and the federation. The MRs are the legislative body of EFPSA and have to vote for the different proposals, initiatives and persons running for post within the federation, thereby seeking to keep EFPSA an acknowledge representative for all the European psychology students.

The EB consists of EFPSA teams and services, which allow the federation to function. The Board of Management (BM) is part of the Executive Board and is in charge of the EB and MRs ensuring EFPSAs stability and growth.
